South African mining magnate Patrice Motsepe was re-elected unopposed as Confederation of African Football president at the organisation's congress in Cairo on Wednesday, while four-time African Footballer of the Year Samuel Eto'o won a place on the executive committee.
The 63-year-old Motsepe, whose family trust owns one of the continent's biggest clubs Mamelodi Sundowns, will serve a second four-year term after being first elected in 2021 when his candidature was also unopposed and heavily backed by FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
"The goal remains making African football globally competitive, stabilizing finances, and investing in infrastructure," Mosepe said.
Eto'o, president of the Cameroon Football Federation, was elected unopposed as a representative for the central African region on the executive committee less than a week after winning an appeal to stand for the post.
He was excluded by CAF's governance committee in January but appealed his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, who ruled in his favour.
