South African Patrice Motsepe and Mauritania's Ahmed Yahya have been cleared to run for the Confederation of African Football (Caf) presidency despite previous doubts over the duo's eligibility.
Fifa's Review Committee has said both men can contest the 12 March elections, where they will take on Ivorian Jacques Anouma and Senegal FA president Augustin Senghor.
On 8 January, a Caf statement said 'further checks were necessary before a final decision' on Motsepe, the billionaire owner of South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns, and Yahya, who has led Mauritania's FA since 2011.
