New CAF president rejects salary

The new president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Ahmad Ahmad from Madagascar said he has refused to accept a salary from African football's governing body.

Ahmad, 57 defeated long-serving President Issa Hayatou, 70 from Cameroon in March to bring an end to Hayatou's 29-year reign.

"I've refused a Caf salary for the simple reason it doesn't respect good administration," he told BBC Sport.

"The salaries of all Caf employees, from administrators to the executive committee and president, all have to be transparent."

Ahmad held his first senior Caf meetings on Monday ahead of the FIFA Congress on Thursday 11 May.
Key among the topics being discussed are how to reform CAF.
