Senegal's Senghor final bidder for Caf presidency

Senegal Football Federation president Augustin Senghor has submitted his candidacy for the Confederation of African Football (Caf) presidential elections in March.

Senghor, who has yet to publicly announce his campaign, told BBC Sport Africa he is the fifth candidate for the elections when asked if he had applied.

"Yes, this is true," the Caf Executive Committee member replied. "When the time comes, I will communicate about this candidacy. This will be after our game against Guinea-Bissau on Sunday."

Senghor is understood to be awaiting official approval from Senegal President Macky Sall to run before publicly announcing his bid.
