The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) reduced to two years the five-year suspension imposed in November 2020 by the International Football Federation (FIFA) on the President of the African Confederation (CAF) Ahmad.

The CAS considers that the Malagasy in particular violated the rules as regards "distribution of gifts and embezzlement".

The current boss of African football will also have to pay a fine of 50,000 Swiss francs.
