Former FIFA Executive Committee member,
Dr. Amos Adamu, was part of the proceedings of the Confederation of
African Football General Assembly on Tuesday in Cairo, to elect the
continent’s two representatives on the FIFA Executive Committee and the
six members on the CAF Executive Committee.
Adamu was invited as a special guest by
CAF to its 37th Ordinary General Assembly at the Aida Ballroom of the
Marriott Hotel, Cairo.
The invitation letter of the former
Director-General of the National Sports Commission was signed by CAF
General Secretary, Hicham El Amrani, who said it was in line with the
belief that Adamu’s wealth of experience as a former FIFA and CAF
Executive Committee member could not be ignored.
President of the Nigeria Football
Federation, Amaju Pinnick and NFF Secretary General, Dr. Sanusi
Mohammed, were the other Nigerians in attendance.
Adamu, a former West African Football
Union president, will be part of Wednesday’s (today) meeting of the
committee, which would be followed by the naming of the host country for
the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations finals, and the draws for the
competition’s qualifiers.
Adamu reportedly entered into private
discussions with CAF president, Issa Hayatou and FIFA boss, Sepp
Blatter, after the meeting
