The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), in a temporary ruling, has restored Madagascar’s Ahmad Ahmad as the President of Confederation of African Football.
Ahmad was banned by FIFA in November for five years after its governing body found him guilty of breaching several of FIFA’s codes of ethics.
CAF says it will hear Ahmad’s appeal in full on March 2, with a decision issued before the CAF presidential elections on 12 March.
Ahmad is still ineligible to contest CAF’s presidential elections in March however, since the CAS decision came after both the CAF’s Governance Committee and FIFA‘s Review Committee which met earlier this week to discuss the eligibility of candidates.
