The Confederation of African Football, CAF, has set the tenure of its president to three terms in office, from next year’s election in March 2017.
CAF Media Spokesman, Junior Binyam, told BBC Sport that the new ruling was approved at Thursday’s Extraordinary General Assembly.
This is a major change for the continent’s elite football governing body, whose incumbent president Issa Hayatou has been in power for 28 years.
The limit will also apply to the members of CAF’s Executive Committee.
