Kaizer Chiefs Marketing Director Jessica Motaung has bagged a new role with the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The news of Jessica’s appointment in CAF was announced by the Chiefs marketing guru herself in a press conference held in Naturena.
Jessica is part of the newly-formed CAF committee that is tasked with growing women’s football on the African continent.
“It’s an honour and privilege to be here,” Jessica announced on Wednesday.
“Women’s football is growing internationally. We’ve seen efforts by FIFA but also CAF to make sure they have set up strategic committees that are looking into not just the development of the game but also the commercialisation.
“We have a Women’s World Cup coming in Australia, and FIFA announced it will actually have its own stand-alone sponsors. So, it’s a very important time in the women’s game.
“It’s such an honour to be part of a committee to make sure that African women’s football grows. So, I’m very excited to be part of that committee.”
