The CAF president, upon being elected, automatically becomes a vice-president of Fifa. At least three other CAF-affiliated national associations must support the nomination of Safa.
The CAF executive committee, where Safa president Dr Danny Jordaan serves as vice-president, decided to convene a CAF ordinary and elective general assembly on March 12 in Morocco.
This will mark the end of the four-year term for the president, members of the CAF executive and members of the Fifa Council.

The Safa national executive committee approved a round-robin resolution by an overwhelming majority to nominate Dr Patrice Motsepe for the position of president of CAF.
