On Wednesday, May 15, former Senegalese international referee Badara Mamaya Séne received a significant appointment as he was appointed as the president of the Central Commission of Referees (CCA) of the Confederation of African Football (CAF). This prestigious position marks a significant achievement for Séne and reflects the trust placed in him to oversee the training and development of African referees. The appointment came as the executive committee of the Senegalese football federation met to lift a 5-year sanction imposed on Séne, related to a referees’ strike. His new role carries the responsibility of improving the standards of African referees, particularly ahead of important competitions like the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
