Ahmad Ahmad
Ahmad Ahmad is a Malagasy politician and football administrator who served as the president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) from 2017 until 2021. His election marked a pivotal moment in African football, as he ended the nearly three-decade reign of Issah Hayatou, promising reforms and transparency within the organization. However, Ahmad's presidency was also overshadowed by accusations of corruption, leading to his eventual departure from the role. His tenure represented a significant shift towards a new era of leadership in African football, although it was fraught with challenges.
