Maroc : Ce qu’a dit le patron de la CAF, Motsepe à son arrivée à Rabat
After his visit to Senegal, the head of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Patrice Motsepe, arrived in Rabat on Thursday, April 9, 2026. Upon disembarking from the plane, the South African praised Morocco, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, and King Mohammed VI for the role they played in the success of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. For him, the "unprecedented" success of this competition clearly demonstrates that it is the most successful in history.
It was a "very big disappointment"
He did not, however, gloss over the incidents that marred the final between Senegal and Morocco. It was a "very big disappointment," he stated, before mentioning the ongoing reform of the CAF statutes and regulations, as well as the specific regulations of the Africa Cup of Nations.
These amendments will be more aligned with FIFA standards in order to strengthen the credibility of competitions, ensure the proportionality of sanctions and consolidate confidence in arbitration and disciplinary bodies, he said.
Football must be a factor of unity for the continent, not division.
According to him, all of this will help to preserve the integrity and influence of African football.
Patrice Motsepe also emphasized that football must be a unifying force for the continent, not a divisive one. To that end, he called on African people to support their representatives at the upcoming World Cup in the Americas.
