CAF backs Motsepe, slams AFCON criticism as unfair
A CAF official has defended president Patrice Motsepe over AFCON 2025 criticism, calling the allegations “very insulting” amid ongoing debate around key decisions.
The official rejected the claims strongly. “These remarks are disrespectful and not factual,” he said, adding, “All decisions are made for the good of African football.”
The controversy has split opinion, with an expert noting, “Criticism is part of the game, but it should be balanced.”
CAF’s response aims to shut down the noise and keep focus on the tournament preparations.
