New Confederation of African Football president Patrice Motsepe raised the bar Tuesday for national teams in the continent by insisting one of them must win the World Cup soon.
“An African team must win the World Cup in the near future,” said the 59-year-old South African billionaire at a press conference in Johannesburg.
Motsepe was elected unopposed last Friday to lead trouble-torn CAF after a two-year ban over “governance issues” prevented Malagasy Ahmad Ahmad seeking re-election for a second stint.
The mining magnate promised to quit after his four-year term if CAF “does not make real progress” under his leadership.
