The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has endorsed FIFA’s apology over the handling of the abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) proposal while unanimously reaffirming its support for FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
CAF announced its position on Thursday after a meeting of its Executive Committee, which endorsed the joint statement issued by Infantino and FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström following the withdrawal of the controversial commercial initiative.
