Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Confederation of African Football (CAF) president Dr Patrice Tlhopane Motsepe arrived in Juba, South Sudan this morning for a one-day working visit.<\/p>\n

Motsepe, who took over the leadership of the continental football governing body in March 2021, was received at Juba International Airport by South Sudan\u2019s Football Association President, Augustino Madut.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters upon arrival, Dr Patrice said: \u201cToday we will be having a meeting with the minister [of youth and sports] and the president. The focus is on football development, to make sure that this great continues to develop.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFootball is a unique sport; it is about showing the rest of the world the talent and capability of our people of the continent. It is also about bringing people together.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the CAF President, football is a very important tool to bring Africans together.<\/p>\n

For his part, South Sudan\u2019s Football Association President Augustino Madut said: \u201cIt is an honour and pleasure for deciding and programming to come and see football development in South Sudan; it is a good gesture from you.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the South African billionaire\u2019s first visit to South Sudan. He took charge following a five-year ban handed to his predecessor Ahmad.<\/p>\n

Motsepe\u2019s visit to the world\u2019s youngest nation comes following last week\u2019s decision by CAF to move the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations from June\/July 2023 to January\/February 2024.<\/p>\n
