The conditionality of future fund disbursements on the implementation of measures against former leaders and the requirement for regular reports to FIFA indicate a firm stance on ensuring proper governance and accountability within Fegafoot.
The ongoing crisis in Gabonese football, compounded by invalidated elections and the upcoming vote on March 25, underscores the importance of resolving internal governance issues to ensure the sustainable development and growth of football in the country.
