"After over 30 years of an international professional career dedicated to promoting an ideal form of football that brings people together, educates, and creates opportunities for hope, I have decided to step down from my position as Secretary General of CAF to devote myself to more personal projects."
"Now that I have been able to dispel the suspicions that some people have gone to great lengths to cast on me, I can retire with peace of mind and without constraint, leaving the CAF more prosperous than ever."
"I sincerely thank the CAF's President Dr. Patrice Motsepe, my teams, and all those who, directly or indirectly, have enabled CAF and organised African football to make real and remarkable progress."
Veron Mosengo-Omba resigned from his position as general secretary of the Confederation of African Football following significant criticism and calls for his removal. His resignation comes during a crisis of confidence in CAF's leadership, particularly after the controversial decision to strip Senegal of the Africa Cup of Nations title. Mosengo-Omba stated he is retiring to focus on personal projects and expressed gratitude towards CAF's President and his team. He emphasized the progress made in African football during his tenure, despite being a divisive figure within the organization.
