Motsepe, who has led CAF since 2021, has seen backing from regional associations, notably COSAFA, who praised his “significant improvements in financial transparency and competition integrity” under his leadership.

Motsepe’s tenure has focused on financial stability and the structural growth of African football, including boosting prize funds and improving CAF’s global standing through a stronger governance model.
