Constant Omari Selemani
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced the Confederation’s first Vice-President, Congolese Constant Omari Selemani, as interim President of the confederation until March 2021.
Omari, President of DR Congo FA’s inauguration comes after the Ethics Committee of the International Federation of Football Association (FIFA) issued its decision to suspend Ahmad Ahmad, the CAF President for a period of five years after breaching the FIFA Code of Conduct.
On Monday, FIFA affirmed in an official statement that its ethics committee issued its decision after proven financial irregularities against the CAF President.
This resulted in Ahmad’s ban from practicing any sporting activities, with a fine of 200,000 Swiss Francs.
The DR Congo boss is a member of the FIFA Executive Council.
In 2015, Omari was appointed as the Chairman of FIFA’s Task Force against Racism and Discrimination.
