The president of the Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF), Dr Patrice Motsepe, congratulated Gianni Infantino on his outstanding 10-year leadership as President of FIFA.
In a statement, the continent’s governing body praised Infantino for his “excellent leadership” and his unwavering commitment to the growth of African football.
“CAF congratulates Gianni Infantino on the excellent leadership that he has provided as FIFA President over the past 10 years and for his enormous contribution to the development and growth of football throughout the world,” Dr. Motsepe said.
“African Football and world football have a loyal and trustworthy friend and partner in Gianni Infantino. CAF wishes him good health and everything of the best.”
Since his election in February 2016, Infantino has overseen a period of significant structural and financial evolution within the global game.
CAF argues that these reforms have been particularly beneficial for its 54 member associations.
