CAF general secretary quits amid AFCON final controversy

Veron Mosengo-Omba has resigned as general secretary of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) following the organization's decision to strip Senegal of the African Cup of Nations title. The move came after the CAF board made the controversial ruling, which triggered significant backlash within African football circles. Mosengo-Omba's departure represents a major institutional shake-up at CAF during a period of heightened scrutiny over the governing body's governance and decision-making processes. The resignation underscores deep divisions within CAF leadership over how the organization handled the AFCON final and its aftermath. The general secretary's exit leaves a key administrative role vacant as the continental football body navigates the fallout from one of its most contentious recent decisions.
