Motaung us going to serve in the organising committee of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations tournaments in 2022 and 2024. This year’s tournament is scheduled for Morocco in July.
“It’s an honour and privilege to be here. Women’s football is growing internationally. We’ve seen efforts by FIFA but also CAF to make sure they have set up strategic committees that are looking into, not just the development of the game but also the commercialisation,” Motaung said.
“We have a Women’s World Cup coming in Australia and FIFA announced it will actually have it’s own stand-alone sponsors, so it’s a very important time in the women’s game.
“It’s such an honour to be part of a committee to make sure that African women’s football grows. So I’m very excited to be part of that committee.”
