Véron Mosengo-Omba has resigned from his position as the General Secretary of the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

In a signed press release dated Sunday, March 29, 2026, from Cairo, Egypt, Mosengo-Omba announced his resignation after over 30 years, effective immediately, to pursue personal projects.

The former General Secretary, in the letter, also expressed confidence in CAF’s prosperous future under President, Dr. Patrice Motsepe.

“After over 30 years of an international professional career dedicated to promoting an ideal form of football that brings people together, educates, and creates opportunities for hope, I have decided to step down from my position as Secretary General of CAF to devote myself to more personal projects,” Mosengo-Omba said.

He also spoke about dispelled suspicions and expressed gratitude for being given the opportunity to enable the progress of African football.

“Now that I have been able to dispel the suspicions that some people have gone to great lengths to cast on me, I can retire with peace of mind and without constraint, leaving the CAF more prosperous than ever,” Mosengo-Omba said.

“I sincerely thank the CAF’s President Dr. Patrice Motsepe, my teams, and all those who, directly or indirectly, have enabled CAF and organized African football to make real and remarkable progress. Let us hope that the progress made will last and be sustained.”
