Football : Infantino in Mauritania amid reports next CAF president is about to be determined

FIFA president Gianni Infantino said on Saturday that the four candidates to become the next president of African football "had made the impossible, possible". Infantino was speaking after Patrice Motsepe looked set to become the new head of CAF, the governing body in Africa - following a deal which will see his rivals stepping aside to take other positions in the organisation. The four - Motsepe, Jacques Anouma, Ahmed Yahya and Augustin Senghor all appeared on stage with Infantino in the Mauritanian capital of Nouakchot on Saturday. Motsepe's elevation is expected to be formally announced when CAF elections take place next Friday. He will take over from Ahmad Ahmad.
