Patrice Motsepe Re-elected CAF President, Samuel Eto'o Joins Executive Committee

Patrice Motsepe was re-elected as president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) during its congress in Cairo, securing a second term without opposition. Samuel Eto'o, president of the Cameroon Football Federation, was elected to the CAF executive committee after the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned a previous ban that had excluded him from candidacy. Eto'o's reinstatement follows a controversial history involving disciplinary actions related to ethical breaches during his tenure with Fecafoot. Alongside Eto'o, Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku of Ghana also secured a position on the executive committee, further diversifying representation across the continent. The elections solidify CAF's leadership with a focus on reform and development in African football. The committee's new members will serve from 2025 to 2029, shaping the future of the sport in Africa.
