CAIRO: A drastic and dramatic overhaul of African football is expected to be announced on Thursday , the eve of the kickoff of the African Cup of Nations, in the wake of corruption scandals consuming the Confederation of African Football .
Ahmad, who is the subject of an ethics investigation by FIFA after allegations of corruption and sexual misconduct, proposed the idea in a document shared with colleagues on the executive committee, the sources said. "This will be done in order to put CAF itself on a modern and sound footing, improve its image and reputation and thus ensure that CAF is better equipped to face future challenges and to grasp future opportunities."FIFA are to also undertake a forensic audit of the monies they have been giving CAF.
