00:00I previously expressed my extreme disappointment with the incidences that took place at the final match.
00:12The important thing of what happened on that final match is it undermines the good work that CAF has done
00:19over many, many years
00:20to ensure that there's integrity, that there's respect, that there's ethics, that there's governance,
00:26as well as credibility of the results of our football matches.
00:30Not a single country in Africa will be treated in a manner that is more preferential or more advantageous
00:39or more favourable than any other country on the African continent.
00:44We have very high standards that we set for ourselves.
00:46It is important for us that ordinary football supporters and spectators in every one of the 54 countries in Africa,
00:55in their judgment, not in CAF's judgment, not in my judgment,
00:59regard the decisions of our judicial bodies as fair, with integrity and impartiality,
01:05and what is equally important, that they regard our referees, our VAR operators,
01:12and our match commissioners as people who are fair and just,
01:17and those decisions that are taken reflects the impartiality and independence as critically important.
