The Confederation of African Football President Patrice Motsepe has officially endorsed the re-election of FIFA President Gianni Infantino on behalf of the continent at the CAF Ordinary General Assembly in Tanzania, continuing the support for the incumbent candidate.
Motsepe said African National Federations would back “our brother based in Europe” at the Assembly in Arusha.
As things stand, Infantino is the only candidate for FIFA Presidency, as he aims to serve for a third term.
He was elected unopposed in 2019 after winning a four-person race to the position in 2016.
Infantino thanked African members for their support.
The FIFA Elective Congress is scheduled to take place on March 16 2023 in Africa, where Infantino will seek re-election with Rwanda set to host it.
The FIFA and CAF Presidents then confirmed the launch of the African Super League, which is scheduled to start in the 2023-2024 season.
