NFF President Amaju Pinnick will on Wednesday in
Cairo, Egypt preside over his first meeting as President of the Organizing
Committee for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Following the toppling of the old order at CAF seven
months ago, leading to the enthronement of new blood headed by Mr. Ahmad,
Nigeria’s Pinnick also won election as Member of the Executive Committee, and
two months later was appointed the President of AFCON.
It is the first time that the Organizing Committee for
the Africa Cup of Nations is not headed by the CAF President.
The Committee on AFCON is the largest in CAF, having
about 35 members, and most of them being presidents of Member Associations. The
1st Vice President is South Africa FA boss, Dr. Danny Jordaan while Zimbabwe FA
boss, Dr. Philip Chiyangwa is the 2nd Vice President.
Thenff.com learnt that the principal agenda for
Wednesday’s meeting at the CAF Headquarters is the AFCON 2019 and the issues
around it, including the facility audit company to be appointed for auditing of
the facilities that Cameroon has put forward for the hosting, and a decision to
be taken on when the company will visit that country.
