It was a sweet victory for youth and professionalism as Issa Hayatou’s 29-year reign as president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) came to an end with Ahmad Ahmad voted in as Africa’s new Football Boss on Thursday.

CAF has been led since 1988 by Issa Hayatou and he was also on FIFA’s executive committee, as well as failing in a bid for the presidency of the governing body in 2002.

Issa Hayatou was also FIFA’s acting president when Sepp Blatter was suspended from the position in 2015 remaining in that position until Gianni Infantino was elected the following year.

In a highly anticipated contest held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Ahmad won convincingly by 34 votes to 20. The Boss on the block was wildly celebrated by his supporters immediately the results were announced.
