Confederation of African Football (CAF) has removed Egyptian Amr
Fahmy as its general secretary.
Reports indicate that the decision to relieve the Egyptian was
taken at the CAF Executive Committee on Thursday ahead of Friday’s draw for the
2019 Africa Cup of Nations. The reason for the
dismissal remains unclear.
Fahmy was appointed
in November 2017 as he followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather.
Fahmy’s grandfather
Mourad served as general secretary of African football’s governing body from
1961-1982.
Mourad was replaced
by his son Mustapha, who held the post until 2010 before being appointed as the
director of competitions at FIFA.
Morocco’s Mouad
Hajji, who was appointed as CAF’s general coordinator this year, is being
tipped to take over.
