In an interview with FRANCE 24, the president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) discussed the upcoming World Cup and AFCON competitions. "I'm confident that an African country will win the World Cup," Patrice Motsepe said. "We have to aspire high and high". He also addressed the unprecedented decision by the CAF to strip Senegal of the most recent AFCON title and hand it to Morocco. "Things are back to normal," Motsepe insisted. "Based on what has happened since the AFCON in Morocco, we are now stronger, more united than ever."
