South African businessman, Patrice Motsepe, has been re-elected unopposed as the president of the Confederation of African Football, securing a second four-year term.
Motsepe, 63, who initially took office in 2021, had declared his intention to continue leading CAF in October 2024.
His re-election was officially confirmed on Wednesday during CAF’s extraordinary general assembly in Cairo, an event attended by FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
The mining tycoon and owner of South African club Mamelodi Sundowns reaffirmed his dedication to advancing African football, pledging to build on the progress made during his first term.
Since assuming leadership, CAF has implemented several reforms to enhance the continent’s football structures.
While Motsepe’s re-election was uncontested, CAF’s executive committee elections saw Cameroonian football legend Samuel Eto’o claim a seat.
