Africa backs Infantino as CAF unanimously votes in FIFA president's favour

The Confederation of African Football's Executive Committee has unanimously confirmed its support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who faces a revolt over his abandoned plan to sell a stake in World Cup commercial rights. CAF's backing, announced Thursday, provides relief to Infantino as he seeks re-election in March. CAF president Patrice Motsepe stressed the need for good governance and transparency, while UEFA has committed to boycotting future World Cups while Infantino remains in office.
