Ahmad has led the Confederation of African Football since 2017The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has ruled that just two of the five candidates for March's presidential elections are eligible so far - with President Ahmad not among them. Both former Ivory Coast football federation president Jacques Anouma and current Senegal FA president Augustin Senghor have been authorised to contest the March elections in Morocco. The elections to determine who will lead Caf into the future are set to be held on 12 March in the Moroccan capital Rabat. Ahmad hopesEven though Ahmad has been declared ineligible, a source in his camp maintains that there is a possibility the former Madagascar FA president, elected Caf president in 2017, could make the ballot after all. It is unclear whether such an appeal would take place internally within Caf or externally at Cas once again.
