Véron Mosengo-Omba to Leave CAF Role After March 29 Executive Meeting – Report

According to investigative journalist Romain Molina, Véron Mosengo-Omba, the General Secretary of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), is expected to officially leave his position at the conclusion of the CAF Executive Committee meeting scheduled for March 29, 2026.

Mosengo-Omba has faced mounting scrutiny over governance practices and the legality of his extended tenure. Critics argue that his extension beyond the standard term raised procedural questions, and internal sources have suggested that pressure from member associations has intensified in recent months.

CAF has not released an official statement confirming the report, and Molina’s announcement has yet to be independently verified by mainstream media outlets.

Mosengo-Omba’s time in office has been overshadowed by controversy. Investigations by various journalists, including Molina, have highlighted allegations of misconduct and mismanagement within the federation’s administrative structure.

The upcoming Executive Committee meeting on March 29 will be closely watched by African football stakeholders, as it could signal a major shift in the leadership of the continent’s governing body for the sport. Analysts suggest that any formal departure by Mosengo-Omba could pave the way for reforms and a potential restructuring of CAF’s administrative processes.

While the details remain unconfirmed, the story has reignited discussions about transparency and accountability in African football administration. Fans and member associations alike are expected to follow developments closely in the coming days.
