Fifa general secretary Fatma Samoura begins Caf reformation work

Fifa general secretary Fatma Samoura has officially resumed in her role as ‘Fifa general delegate for Africa’ on Saturday.

The diplomat was involved in two separate meetings at the Confederation of African Football (Caf) headquarters in Cairo, which involved directors and administrative staff.

Caf president Ahmad Ahmad presided over both gatherings as he thanked Fifa president Gianni Infantino for his continued support by sending Samoura on her six-month mission to the continent to ensure the efficient running of football in Africa.

Samoura, who has experience working at the United Nations and recently Fifa, echoed Ahmad’s thoughts and hopes her time on the continent proves a resounding success.
