Véron Mosengo-Omba appointed CAF General Secretary

FIFA confirms that Véron Mosengo-Omba will leave his role as Chief Officer of the FIFA member

 associations (MAs) division with immediate effect to take on the position of CAF General Secretary.

Mr Mosengo-Omba initially joined FIFA in 2016 as Regional Member Associations Director with

 responsibility for Africa and the Caribbean, and subsequently spent the past two years supporting all 

FIFA 211 MAs to implement the FIFA Forward development programme, as well as managing

 relationships with all FIFA MAs and continental confederations in his role as Chief Officer of the

 division.

A native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mr Mosengo-Omba was particularly involved in

 supporting the 54 African MAs in their FIFA Forward projects, in the development of youth and women’s

 football throughout the continent, and in the recent implementation of the FIFA Covid-19 Relief Plan.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino and FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura issued a joint statement

 expressing their gratitude for the work that Mr Mosengo-Omba has overseen at FIFA.
