The Confederation of African Football (CAF) held its presidential election on March 10, 2013, in Marrakech, Morocco. Issa Hayatou, the Cameroonian football administrator, was re-elected for another term. Hayatou has been in office since 1987, and this victory secured his position for seven more years. The election process faced criticism for its lack of competition, with Hayatou being the only candidate. Some voices, including Basile Boli and Joseph Antoine Bell, raised concerns about the lack of openness and described CAF as operating like an autocratic system. The voting method, conducted by a show of hands, was also scrutinized for its potential impact on opposition within the organization.
