Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Hussein Mohammed met with FIFA President Gianni Infantino during the 76th FIFA Congress in Vancouver, Canada, in 2026.

In a statement, Mohammed said the meeting brought together 54 Presidents of the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
He stated that the discussions were around the development of African football and the future under the leadership of President Patrice Motsepe.
“Together with 54 presidents of CAF member associations, we met and discussed the significant success of African football in recent years and what the future holds for us under the leadership of President Patrice Motsepe,” Mohammed said.
“FIFA President Gianni Infantino honoured the event and reiterated the importance of unity in African football as a powerful tool for growth and development. He appreciated the record number of 10 African teams participating in the upcoming World Cup.”
