mon élection au Comité exécutif est un acquis pour toute l’Algérie
Title: Walid Sadi Elected to CAF Executive Committee: A Milestone for Algerian Football
On Wednesday, Walid Sadi, the president of the Algerian Football Federation (FAF), was unanimously elected to the Executive Committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) during the 14th Extraordinary General Assembly of the continental body. In a video statement shared across FAF’s social media platforms, Sadi emphasized that this achievement is not merely personal but represents a collective accomplishment for Algeria.
Sadi’s election came against the backdrop of significant changes in the CAF leadership structure, notably with the withdrawal of Tunisian candidate Hussein Jenayeh, which left Sadi as the sole eligible candidate for the Union of North African Football (UNAF) region. His election by acclamation reflects the confidence of the CAF assembly members in Algeria’s football leadership.
In his address, Sadi expressed pride in the election, articulating that it marks Algeria’s return to the CAF Executive Committee after a prolonged absence. He dedicated this milestone to the country and the entire sports community, acknowledging the supportive role of Algeria’s President, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, and the country’s high authorities. He also emphasized the collective effort involved in achieving this goal, highlighting a commitment to advancing the country’s presence in international football and strengthening its sports infrastructure.
Sadi stressed the importance of Algeria’s re-engagement with CAF as part of a broader initiative to develop sports in the country, signaling an intention to work diligently for the betterment of both Algerian and African football. He expressed his commitment to mobilize all available resources toward this cause, indicating a willingness to embrace responsibility and cooperation among stakeholders.
This development signifies a hopeful chapter for Algerian football, aligning with national efforts to enhance the sports sector, which is fundamentally linked to the country’s aspirations on both continental and global stages. Sadi’s leadership and vision are poised to contribute positively to the evolution of football in Algeria, fostering a spirit of collaboration that can resonate throughout Africa.
