Veron Mosengo-Omba Resigns as CAF General Secretary to Lead Congolese Football

In a significant leadership change within African football administration, Veron Mosengo-Omba has officially stepped down from his position as General Secretary of the Confederation of African Football.

Mosengo-Omba, who has served as the top administrative officer at CAF in recent years, played a key role in the organization’s governance and football development initiatives across the continent. His tenure saw efforts to strengthen institutional structures, improve competitions, and enhance collaboration with national associations.

Following his resignation, Mosengo-Omba is set to take on a new challenge in his home country. He will become the new President of the Fédération Congolaise de Football Association (FECOFOOT), marking a major shift from continental administration to national football leadership.

The move is expected to bring his experience from CAF directly into Congolese football, where he will oversee reforms, development programs, and the overall direction of the sport in the country. Many observers believe his background in continental football governance could help modernize the federation and strengthen Congo’s presence in African competitions.

Mosengo-Omba’s transition signals both the end of an important chapter at CAF and the beginning of a new era for football administration in Congo. ⚽?
