Motsepe is Re-elected unopposed as Caf President

Patrice Motsepe has been re-elected unopposed as Confederation of African Football (Caf) president for a second term in office.

The 63-year-old South African, who has been Caf president since 2021, had announced his decision to stand again in October 2024.

His re-election for another four-year reign was confirmed at the Caf extraordinary general assembly in Cairo on Wednesday where Fifa president Gianni Infantino was in attendance.

Motsepe, a mining magnate who also owns South African club Mamelodi Sundowns, had said he was looking to continue the "good progress" he had made since coming to office four years ago.

Although Motsepe's re-election was a formality, elections were held for positions on Caf's executive committee with Cameroonian football legend Samuel Eto'o winning a seat.

The continent's representatives on the Fifa council were also voted in during Wednesday's executive general assembly.
