Having worked across Africa for many years in his previous role as Chief Officer of Fifa's Member Associations division, Mosengo-Omba knows the continent well and has identified infrastructure as a key concern. "It was agreed that the improvement of several infrastructures will be a priority for Caf and a detailed plan will be presented at a short term," African football's governing body said in a statement. Mosengo-Omba reportedly described the 'state of degradation of infrastructure ... which do not or no longer offer the guarantees and aptitudes to host Caf competitions, in particular the Africa Cup of Nations'.
