Confederation of African Football (CAF) President Issa Hayatou has arrived in Addis Ababa where he will be aiming to secure an eighth term at the head of the continental governing body. The charges against the Cairo-based CAF, Hayatou and El Amrani relate to a broadcast rights deal with Lagardère Sports, which the company were allegedly given without a formal tender process as required by Egyptian law. "I am happy I am finally in Addis Ababa," Ahmad told SuperSport, a South African group of television channels. "I just hope that these changes will help African football to evolve, because it is the most important. "Trying to do something else at the head of CAF is not a bad idea."
