The president of Somali Football Federation, Abdiqani Said Arab, has been appointed vice president of the Council of East and Central Africa Football Associations [CECAFA].
Due to him being the most experienced member in the executive committee, the CECAFA president, Dr. Mutasim Gafaar, suggested that Abdiqani Said Arab was the right one to become his deputy.
During the CECAFA executive committee meeting in the Sudanese
capital Khartoum on Monday, CECAFA president Dr. Mutasim Gafaar proposed that
Abdiqani Said Arab of Somalia be appointed vice president of the regional
Africa football body.
Mr. Abdiqani was re-elected to CECAFA executive committee
for a 5th term in November last year, becoming the sole member from
the previous executive board who retained his position.
Due to him being the most experienced member in the executive committee, the CECAFA president, Dr. Mutasim Gafaar, suggested that Abdiqani Said Arab was the right one to become his deputy.
However, CECAFA executive committee members unanimously
approved that Abdiqani Said Arab [Somalia] will be serving as CECAFA’s vice
president from January 4th 2016.
