The president of the Cape Verde Football Federation, Mário Semedo, was elected leader of the West African Football Union-A (WAFU-A). The election marks a change in the leadership of the organization that brings together the football federations of the west African zone.
Mário Semedo succeeds in the position Lamine Badjo, who was from Gambia. The leadership transition represents a change in the geographical composition of those responsible for the entity that manages football in the west African sub-region.
WAFU-A is responsible for coordinating football activities among the national federations that make up zone A of the west African region. Semedo's election places Cape Verde at the leadership of one of the main football organizations on the continent.
