CAF president urge role-players to be ready

Confederation of African Football (CAF) president Ahmad Ahmad has urged the continent’s role-players to be ready to lead the recovery of the game once the Covid-19 pandemic has subsided.

Football on the continent has been brought to a virtual standstill, with just Burundi’s league playing on, but Ahmad says stakeholders need to ready themselves to swing back into action when it is safe to do so.

“In these painful times full of worry, it only comes to my mind that all of our populations, all our living sources and our youth, will emerge from this pandemic in good health and in optimal shape to attack the recovery of our activities with courage and determination,” Ahmad said.
