The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed the appeal filed
by Jacques Anouma against the African Football Confederation (CAF)
regarding his candidacy for the CAF presidency. The Ivorian Football
Federation (FIF) had proposed the candidature of Mr Anouma for the
presidential election of 10 March 2013, a nomination which was declared
inadmissible by the CAF Executive Committee.
The CAS has confirmed that the CAF Executive Committee had jurisdiction to refuse the candidature of Jacques Anouma, that the CAF Statutes adopted in September 2012 were applicable in assessing the validity of the candidates in the presidential election and that Jacques Anouma did not meet these criteria because he had never been a member the CAF Executive Committee.
