South African businessman Patrice Motsepe has secured a second term as president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) after being re-elected unopposed.
Motsepe, 63, who initially took office in 2021, had confirmed his intention to run for re-election in October 2024. His second four-year term was officially ratified during CAF’s extraordinary general assembly in Cairo on Wednesday, with FIFA president Gianni Infantino in attendance.
A prominent mining magnate and owner of South African club Mamelodi Sundowns, Motsepe reaffirmed his commitment to advancing African football and building on the progress made during his first term. Under his leadership, CAF has implemented key reforms aimed at strengthening football across the continent.
Although Motsepe’s re-election was uncontested, elections were held for CAF’s executive committee, where Cameroonian football legend Samuel Eto’o secured a position.
The assembly also voted on Africa’s representatives for the FIFA Council.
