Motsepe disclosed this at a press conference on Friday in Abidjan at a meeting with CAF Member Associations’ Presidents ahead of the AFCON final on Sunday.

According to the CAF boss it is an achievement that Africans should be proud of.

“We have had close to two billion people watching AFCON globally. We should be proud as Africans and the next one will be even better,” Motsepe said at the press conference via CAF X handle.

He added: “The success of Africa depends upon Africa working together, trading together, and in football, countries competing and playing together.”
