The Confederation of the African Football Confederation (CAF) prepares to announce the investiture of the First Vice-President of the Congolese Confederation, Konstay Umaray, as interim president of the Confederation until March 2020 after the FIFA Ethics Committee issued its decision to suspend Ahmed Ahmed, President of the Confederation of African Football Confederation (CAF) for a period of five years after he broke the FIFA Code of Conduct.
It is known that Ahmed Ahmed, president of KAF, was removed from his administrative functions within the African Union football system after leaving the hospital after recovering from the emerging coronavirus “Covid 19”.
This comes in accordance with article 24 of the eighth paragraph of the Basic Law, which establishes that “if the president is absent or temporarily unavailable, the first vice president will act on his behalf.”
According to the FIFA statement, the Judicial Chamber of the Independent Ethics Committee found that Ahmed had violated several articles of the FIFA Code of Ethics, including the duty of loyalty, giving and accepting gifts or other benefits, abuse of office and embezzlement Of funds.
The statement indicated that Ahmed Ahmed was suspended following an investigation conducted by Ahmed as head of CAF between 2017 and 2019 related to the organization and financing of Umrah for the city of Mecca and his participation in Caf’s dealings with Sports Equipment Company and other activities.
Ahmed Ahmed assumed the presidency of the African Football Confederation in March 2017, succeeding Cameroonian Issa Hayatou, who remained in office for 29 years.
