Yesterday, during a press breakfast, CAF president Issa Hayatou revealed his candidacy for re-election in the upcoming succession next month. The announcement, while not surprising, has sparked discussions among those who believe it’s time for him to pass on the leadership.
A notable statement from Hayatou caught attention: “If I am re-elected, this will be my last mandate.” Many observers express relief at this decision, considering his lengthy tenure at the helm of CAF since 1987.
A change in leadership is eagerly anticipated by some who acknowledge both positive and negative aspects of Hayatou’s tenure. African football enthusiasts are bracing for a potential transition, hoping for a new chapter in the management of CAF.
