The General Secretary of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Veron Mosengo-Omba, has resigned during a turbulent period for football on the continent.
In a statement released on Sunday, Mosengo-Omba indicated that he was stepping down, describing his exit as a retirement. However, his departure comes amid ongoing fallout from controversial decisions surrounding the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), including the stripping of Senegal’s 2025 title and the last-minute postponement of the women’s tournament.
These developments have left CAF, African football’s governing body, grappling with a growing crisis of confidence.
