“Patrice Motsepe's Caf presidency under pressure after Afcon U-turn as Eto'o waits in wings” — what this page in the network covers. Patrice Motsepe's leadership of the Confederation of African Football (Caf) is facing growing pressure, with officials across the continent expressing a loss of trust in the president. Rivals, including Samuel Eto'o, are positioning themselves as potential replacements. The pressure comes after Motsepe's surprising announcement last week that the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) will return to a biennial cycle, reversing a decision made just 10 months prior to hold the tournament every four years.
The U-turn is expected to be confirmed at Caf's executive committee meeting in Abidjan next month. While the return to a biennial Afcon is widely supported within Africa, sources indicate a weakening of trust in Caf's leadership, with some questioning Motsepe's management.
