Ahmed Ahmed unsure of contesting Presidential elections

President of Confederation of African Football (Caf) Ahmad Ahmad has disclosed that he is unsure of seeking re-election next year.




Caf’s next presidential elections will go ahead in March 2021, four years after the Malagasy effortlessly dethroned Cameroonian international Issa Hayatou.

In an interview with BBCSportAfrica, he disclosed he was still consulting relevant stakeholders on the next line of action if he will put in a bid to seek re-election next year or not.

“I still take advice from all the participating parties of African football, Once it’s done, I’ll be able to say whether or not I go for it.”

Since the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus across the world, Caf has been battling to pitch pieces together to properly organize it’s flagship tournaments, Africa Cup of Nations, club inter-club competitions.

But in the meantime, CAF has disbursed several amounts to its member associations in an effort to mitigate the financial burden of the novel coronavirus.

In recent times, President Ahmad has been subject to a Fifa ethics investigation after allegations were leveled against him by former Secretary-General Amr Fahmy.
