Samir Sobha says Caf’s statutes are not being respected
Véron Mosengo-Omba is past compulsory retirement age
A member of the Confederation of African football’s executive committee has said the general secretary, Véron Mosengo-Omba, is “occupying the seat illegally” and must be made to stand down.
Samir Sobha, the president of the Mauritius Football Association, said he would not accept Mosengo-Omba’s presence at Caf meetings because the 66-year-old Swiss-Congolese lawyer no longer holds the position legitimately.
Under regulation 130 of Caf’s employment handbook, 63 is the compulsory retirement age for staff. At the discretion of the president or the general secretary, a single three-year extension can be given under the regulations.
