In a letter addressed to Kamanga, CAF General Secretary Veron Mosengo-Omba confirmed that FIFA had declared him eligible after successfully meeting all the necessary requirements. The letter stated: “CAF is pleased to inform you that you have been declared eligible to be a candidate for elections to the FIFA Council at the 14th CAF Extraordinary General Assembly, Cairo, 12 March 2025.”
