Mosengo-Omba who represented CAF President, Dr. Patrice Motsepe commended the leadership and members of CECAFA for the good work in developing football.
Mosengo-Omba told delegates, “President Motsepe has, a few months ago, visited the CECAFA region because he recognises the role this Zone is playing in developing football. I know he wanted to be here but unfortunately couldn’t make it because of other commitments.”
