6TH OF OCTOBER CITY, 9 March, 2021 (TON): As the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Monday reduced Ahmad Ahmad's five-year ban to two years, Patrice Motsepe will become the president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) later this week.

The sports court found the leader guilty of a cascade of ethical violations, including the distribution of gifts, embezzlement, and misappropriation of funds; therefore, Ahmad cannot stand for re-election this week.

Ahmad was notably accused of having used the money of the African Football Confederation (CAF) to invite certain presidents of national federations to a pilgrimage to Mecca, without direct connection with football, sources said.
