Motsepe elected without the need for a vote after a deal brokered by FIFA saw his three challengers withdraw.
Sole candidate Patrice Motsepe has been confirmed as Confederation of African Football (CAF) president in Rabat without the need for a vote after a deal brokered by FIFA saw his three challengers withdraw. Motsepe takes over an organisation still reeling after Malagasy Ahmad Ahmad became the first CAF president to be banned by FIFA in November last year, with a five-year suspension for “governance issues” cut to two years on appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Just a few weeks ago, Motsepe, Ivorian Jacques Anouma, Mauritanian Ahmed Yahya and Senegalese Augustin Senghor were locked in an intriguing struggle for the presidency.
