Madagascar Football Association boss Ahmad Ahmad has vowed to to take African football to greater heights after ending Isaa Hayatou’s 29-year reign as CAF president in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Thursday.
The 57-year-old Ahmad won 34 of the 54 votes in the election, with his 70-year-old Cameroonian rival Hayatou clearing the remaining 20.
Ahmad said he was determined for “change” at CAF, promising that football on the continent would develop fast.
Nigeria Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick also sealed his place in the CAF executive committee after dethroning Moucharafou Anjorin of Benin Republic.
