The Confederation of African Football has begun the search for a substantive Secretary-General, less than four months after appointing Nigerian football administrator Samson Adamu as Acting Secretary-General, The PUNCH reports.
CAF has published a vacancy for the organisation’s top administrative position on its official website, inviting qualified candidates to apply for the role that oversees the day-to-day management of African football’s governing body.
Applications will close on July 10, 2026.
Adamu was appointed Acting Secretary-General in March following the resignation of Swiss-Congolese administrator Véron Mosengo-Omba, who stepped down amid growing scrutiny over his leadership and the controversy surrounding the Africa Cup of Nations final.
