Speculation is mounting regarding the potential successor to Patrice Motsepe as President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), with Samuel Eto'o, Ahmed Yahya, Yacine Idriss Diallo, and Souleyman Waberi being mentioned as possible contenders. While none have officially declared their candidacy, reports suggest growing pressure on Motsepe, despite his current term extending until 2029. The unrest follows recent discussions about potentially returning to a biennial format for the Africa Cup of Nations, a move that has sparked concern among national associations over a lack of prior consultation. The issue is expected to be addressed during the upcoming executive committee meeting in Abidjan next November.
