Khaled Nassar appointed head of CAF Competitions Department

Khaled Nassar has been appointed as the head of the Competitions Department of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), succeeding Nigeria's Samson Adamu. Adamu recently transitioned to the role of acting General Secretary after the resignation of Véron Mosengo-Omba from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Previously, Adamu was responsible for overseeing major football competitions across Africa in his role as head of the Competitions Department. Nassar's new responsibilities will include managing tournament schedules, logistics, and coordination with stakeholders to ensure the smooth operation of CAF's competitions.

This appointment is significant as CAF prepares for upcoming tournaments, and effective administration is crucial for coordinating teams, match officials, and other stakeholders. The report did not specify the effective date of Nassar's appointment or any immediate changes to the department's operations.

Adamu's move to the General Secretariat marks a shift from competition oversight to broader administrative duties within CAF.
