By Paul Nicholson in Mexico City
May 13 – FIFA president Gianni Infantino took the unexpected step of unveiling the first key appointment of his regime today, naming Fatma Samba Diouf Samoura (pictured) of Senegal as his Secretary General, the first woman in its history to be handed FIFA’s most senior management position.
Not on the agenda at FIFA’s first congress in the post-Sepp Blatter era, Infantino took delegates by complete surprise in announcing Samoura as his number two saying he “truly believed in equality” and that FIFA needed “a fresh wind…not someone from the past.”
