South African World Cup organiser Danny Jordaan has lost his bid to join Fifa's 24-man executive committee.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced on Wednesday (February 23) that Jordaan came fourth out of five candidates to fill two spots on football's ruling body.
Algerian federation president Mohamed Raouraoua was first with 39 votes, while Ivory Coast federation president Jacques Anouma followed with 35 and will serve a second four-year term. Jordaan received 10 votes from the 53 CAF members.
Raouraoua replaces Amos Adamu, who was suspended by Fifa over corruption allegations made during the 2018 and 2022 World Cup votes.
The new terms start on July 1 at the Fifa Congress in Zurich. The terms of CAF president Issa Hayatou of Cameroon and Hany Abo Rida of Egypt run until 2013.
