politician Cameroon

Issa Hayatou is a Cameroonian sports administrator who served as the president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) from 1988 to 2017. His lengthy tenure was marked by significant influence in African football, but it also faced criticism for allegations of corruption and maladministration. Under his leadership, CAF saw the expansion of tournaments and increased visibility for African football, but concerns over governance and financial management led to a call for reform, paving the way for the election of Patrice Motsepe.
