CAF President, Ahmad Ahmad

Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) President, Ahmad  Ahmad has said he will not be collecting salary as President of the confederation.

The new African football chief, who rose to the position in March this year after defeating long-serving Issa Hayatou, said he took the decision to respect transparency and good administration.

“I’ve refused a CAF salary for the simple reason that it doesn’t respect good administration.The salaries of all CAF employees, from administrators to the executive committee and president, all have to be transparent.” he said.

The 57-year- old former Madagascar Football Federation chief who had a brief playing and coaching career, believes CAF is not expected to enrich itself  but to use its resources to aid the development of football across the continent.
