Ex-CAF General Secretary Véron Mosengo-Omba submits candidacy for FECOFA presidency

Former Confederation of African Football (CAF) Secretary General Véron Mosengo-Omba has officially declared his candidacy for the presidency of the Congolese Football Federation (FECOFA), marking a significant development in the leadership contest of the country’s football governing body.

Mosengo-Omba, who previously served as one of CAF’s top administrators, confirmed his decision to run for the position, setting the stage for what is expected to be a closely watched electoral process within Congolese football circles.

His entry into the race comes at a time when FECOFA is seeking renewed direction and institutional stability amid ongoing efforts to strengthen football development structures in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

With extensive experience at continental level, particularly during his tenure at CAF, Mosengo-Omba is expected to position himself as a reform-minded candidate capable of leveraging international football administration expertise to reshape the domestic game.

The FECOFA presidential election is anticipated to attract strong interest from stakeholders, as competing candidates prepare to present their visions for the future of football in the country.

Further details regarding the election timetable and other contenders are expected to be announced by the federation in the coming weeks.
