Roger Milla’s critique of Issa Hayatou’s leadership at CAF sheds light on the challenges and concerns within African football governance. Milla emphasizes the need for effective management of African football and criticizes instances of irregularities, such as falsification of licenses and expedited naturalization of players. His reference to Equatorial Guinea during CAN 2012 underscores the importance of enforcing rules consistently across all member federations.
Milla’s call for transparency, adherence to regulations, and the fair treatment of all federations aligns with the broader discourse on governance in football. This critique comes at a time when discussions about reforms in football administration, both at the continental and global levels, are gaining traction. Milla’s perspective reflects a desire for accountable and responsible leadership within the African football community.
