Nigerian football administrator, Samson Adamu, was on Sunday appointed as the Acting Secretary General of the Confederation of African Football. He is the first Nigerian to be appointed to the position since the continent’s football-governing body was founded about 70 years ago.
He replaces Swiss-Congolese Veron Mosengo-Omba, who tendered his resignation the same day.
Before his appointment, Adamu was the CAF’s Director of Tournaments and Events.
His name was proposed by the CAF Executive Committee and ratified by the Congress at its meeting on Sunday, 29th March 2026, at the Giza Palace Hotel in Cairo, Egypt.
