CAF president Ahmad Ahmad is planning to appeal his five-year ban from all football-related activities by FIFA over alleged corruption at CAS.
The Committee announced Ahmad’ s ban citing violation of their code of ethics represented in the unlawful acceptance of gifts and benefits.
However, reports have emerged to confirm that the 60-year-old from Madagascar will appeal FIFA’s decision.
The Ethics by Committee pointed out that the penalty imposed on the CAF President and FIFA’s vice president came as a result of his behavior during the period between 2017 and 2019.
Following his suspension, Ahmad has been temporarily replaced by his vice president Constant Omari who will be acting as CAF president while Ahmad was definitely disqualified from re-running for another term of presidency in March 2021.
