Much has happened within the Confederation of African Football (CAF) since the shock ouster of Issa Hayatou as president of the organisation a little over 12 months ago.
Hayatou had clung onto power for 29 years, taking on the guise almost of a dictatorial figure, and it was clear when he was replaced by Ahmad Ahmad in March last year that change was needed.
African football had to a large extent stagnated, there was no innovation, and any new thinking was stifled by the old guard. CAF was in many ways run in 2017 just as it had been in 1987.
Sure there were lucrative broadcast rights and a major sponsor, but there could be a big debate as to whether football on the continent was actually moving forward.
