South African Patrice Motsepe has been re-elected unopposed as the President of Confederation of African Football (CAF). This means he would serve a second four-year term in office.

He secured a second term during CAF’s extraordinary general assembly held in Cairo, Egypt, on Wednesday, with FIFA president Gianni Infantino in attendance.

Motsepe was elected by acclamation in Morocco four years ago, succeeding Malagasy Ahmad Ahmad, who was suspended by FIFA over financial misconduct.

CAF secretary-general, Veron Mosengo-Omba, is among those who have credited Motsepe with improving the finances and governance of the organisation.

“Patrice was a gift for African football. In 2021, CAF was a toxic body. He brought good governance to all levels of the organisation,” Mosengo-Omba said ahead of the meeting.

Also, former Cameroonian star Samuel Eto’o was elected to the CAF executive committee by acclamation in Cairo on Wednesday as he was the lone candidate from the Central Africa region.

The 44-year-old became eligible only last week after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) overturned a CAF ban on the ex-Barcelona, Inter Milan and Chelsea forward.

His elevation to the executive council of the African football governing body came at a CAF extraordinary general assembly — an annual meeting of top football officials in the continent.

Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) president Eto’o now joins the supreme decision-making body in Africa.

The CAF ban of Eto’o came last year after the three-time Champions League winner was found guilty by the Cairo-based organisation of an ethics breach.

Last July, CAF said the Cameroonian had “seriously violated the principles of ethics, integrity and sportsmanship” by becoming a brand ambassador for a betting organisation.
