South African businessman Patrice Motsepe has been re-elected as the president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for a second term after running unopposed.
Motsepe, 63, who first took office in 2021, had announced his re-election bid in October 2024. His new four-year term was confirmed during CAF’s extraordinary general assembly in Cairo on Wednesday, with FIFA president Gianni Infantino in attendance.
A prominent mining magnate and owner of Mamelodi Sundowns, Motsepe reaffirmed his commitment to advancing African football and building on the reforms introduced during his tenure.
While his re-election was expected, CAF also conducted elections for its executive committee, where Cameroonian football legend Samuel Eto’o secured a position. Representatives for the FIFA Council were also elected during the assembly.
