Uncertainty is surrounding Friday’s Executive
Committee meeting of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in Dar es
Salaam, amid reports of growing internal tensions.
According to reports, several Executive Committee
members are considering not travelling to Tanzania due to concerns that a
detailed agenda has yet to be formally circulated. The absence of clear
communication ahead of what is expected to be a critical meeting has reportedly
triggered unease within the continental body.
Sources suggest the delay in releasing the agenda may
be linked to internal strategic considerations, including efforts to prevent
potential information leaks. However, the development has raised fresh
questions about governance processes and transparency within CAF.
The tensions come in the wake of a previous Executive
Committee meeting that was reportedly marked by a heated exchange—later
denied—between Moroccan FA president Fouzi Lekjaa and Nigeria FA
president Ibrahim Musa Gusau.
Friday’s meeting is expected to deliberate on several
high-profile matters, including regulatory reforms following Senegal’s reported
disqualification from hosting the Africa Cup of Nations final. It is also set
to address the status of CAF Secretary General Véron Mosengo-Omba, who
is said to have exceeded the statutory age limit for office.
While the proposed boycott by some members remains
unconfirmed, the signals emerging from within CAF point to significant strain
at a sensitive time for African football’s governing body. Any notable absence
of influential Executive Committee members could further fuel concerns about
CAF’s internal cohesion and institutional stability.
