The football administrator said he decided to step down after more than 30 years of international professional experience in football management in order to focus on personal projects.
“After over 30 years of an international professional career dedicated to promoting an ideal form of football that brings people together, educates, and creates opportunities for hope, I have decided to step down from my position as Secretary General of CAF to devote myself to more personal projects,” Mosengo-Omba said in the statement.
Mosengo-Omba also expressed confidence in the future of African football under CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe, praising the progress achieved during his time in office.
He said he was leaving the organisation with a sense of fulfilment after contributing to the growth and development of football across the continent.
“Now that I have been able to dispel the suspicions that some people have gone to great lengths to cast on me, I can retire with peace of mind and without constraint, leaving CAF more prosperous than ever,” he said.
The outgoing secretary general also thanked CAF President Patrice Motsepe, his colleagues, and the organisation’s staff for their support during his tenure.
“I sincerely thank the CAF’s President Dr. Patrice Motsepe, my teams, and all those who, directly or indirectly, have enabled CAF and organised African football to make real and remarkable progress,” he added.
Mosengo-Omba further expressed hope that the progress made in African football administration would continue and be sustained in the coming years.
His resignation marks a significant leadership change within CAF as the organisation continues its efforts to strengthen football governance and development across Africa.
