Uncertainty Clouds CAF Executive Committee Meeting Amid Governance Concerns
With the Confederation of African Football, CAF, Executive Committee meeting scheduled for Friday in Dar es Salaam, uncertainty is already casting a shadow over the gathering, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Reports indicate that several Executive Committee members are weighing the possibility of not travelling to Tanzania amid concerns that a detailed agenda has yet to be formally circulated. The absence of clear communication regarding what is expected to be a pivotal meeting for the future of African football has reportedly triggered unease within the governing body.
Sources suggest the delay in releasing the agenda may be tied to internal strategic considerations, including efforts to prevent potential leaks of sensitive discussions. However, the development has only intensified questions about governance procedures and transparency within CAF at a delicate moment for the organisation.
The tensions follow previous internal strains, including reports of a heated exchange, later denied, between Moroccan FA president Fouzi Lekjaa and Nigeria Football Federation president Ibrahim Musa Gusau.
Although any proposed boycott remains unconfirmed, signals emerging from within CAF point to significant friction at the top level of African football administration.
Friday’s meeting is expected to deliberate on key matters, including regulatory reforms in the wake of Senegal’s disqualification from hosting the Africa Cup of Nations final, as well as the status of CAF Secretary General Véron Mosengo-Omba, who is reportedly beyond the statutory age limit for office.
Should influential Executive Committee members fail to attend, it could further amplify concerns about CAF’s internal cohesion and institutional stability during a critical period for the continental body.
