The future of FIFA president Gianni Infantino should be decided by an election, the head of African football said on Thursday. Patrice Motsepe, president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), said a vote was the only way to settle Infantino's position. His comment comes after several world football federations withdrew their support for Infantino over his abandoned plan to sell stakes in the men's World Cup to private investors. Europe's governing body UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation and CONCACAF, which covers North and Central America and the Caribbean, have accused Infantino of deception over the matter. Motsepe, whose CAF has backed Infantino, said the FIFA president should stand in the election scheduled for March.
