It seems that Ahoua Stallone, the president of Hiré FC and the Akralé Foundation, is working towards reconciling the president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Issa Hayatou, and the ex-president of the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) and candidate for the CAF presidency, Jacques Anouma.
Ahoua Stallone emphasizes his motivation for seeking reconciliation as a desire for peace in African football. He expresses concern about individuals causing disruptions and strains in the relationships between Jacques Anouma and Issa Hayatou. Stallone believes that both leaders, who contribute to the development of football in Africa, deserve respect and recognition.
The conflict appears to have originated in 2013 when CAF was set to elect its president. Issa Hayatou, from Cameroon, had been in office since 1988 and was a candidate for re-election. Ivorian Jacques Anouma, a FIFA member, also aspired to run for the position. The electoral competition led to a detrimental atmosphere between the supporters of both candidates.
Ahoua Stallone is taking the initiative to bring about reconciliation, emphasizing the importance of fair play in football. His efforts aim to restore respectful relationships between the two leaders, recognizing the contributions of both Issa Hayatou and Jacques Anouma to African football.
