African soccer leader Patrice Motsepe has been re-elected and urges working with private financiers to help federations build national stadiums. The 54 member federations of the Confederation of African Football elected Motsepe unopposed to have a second four-year term. Currently 12 countries cannot host national-team games in international competitions because their stadiums are not certified. Motsepe, a billionaire from South Africa, says African heads of state often tell him they must weigh investments in soccer against health and education spending.
