Patrice Motsepe, president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), is facing renewed criticism from member associations regarding the organization's governance and financial transparency. The scrutiny centers on the implementation of reforms and the management of commercial and broadcast rights.
Reports indicate that several national football federations have expressed concerns over the pace of administrative changes promised when Motsepe was elected in 2021. The calls for greater accountability come amid broader discussions about the future structure of African football competitions.
CAF has not issued an official statement addressing the latest round of criticisms as of March 19, 2026. The organization is preparing for upcoming continental tournaments, with governance expected to remain a key topic among stakeholders.
