Africa backs Infantino as CAF unanimously votes in FIFA president’s favour

CAF president Patrice Motsepe calls for good governance, as Africa throws weight behind FIFA’s Gianni Infantino.

The Confederation of African Football’s Executive Committee has unanimously confirmed its support for beleaguered FIFA president Gianni Infantino, at odds with ⁠its counterparts in Europe, North America and Asia.

On the day UEFA said it is committed to boycotting future World Cups at all levels while Infantino remains in office, CAF’s top decision-making body late on Thursday sided with the ⁠FIFA president as he seeks re-election in March next year.
