- FIFA is ending its six-month intervention in African soccer’s governing body, it said on Sunday, after the mission to speed up the reform of football on the continent was “successfully completed”.
FIFA effectively took over the running of African football after the corruption scandals which consumed the Confederation of African Football last year, including allegations against CAF president Ahmad Ahmad which he has denied. A number of proposals were presented to the CAF executive committee in Rabat on Sunday following the end of the mission, FIFA said.
It was also proposed to create a pan-African league, outlined by FIFA president Gianni Infantino in a speech on Saturday, and seek new initiatives in women’s football, youth categories and national team competitions. A 100-point “good governance” plan was also proposed.
