Geremi Njitap has been re-elected at the top of the African Division of the “Fédération Internationale des Footballeurs Professionnels (FIFPRO) loosely translated to English as the International Federation of Professional Footballers or the World Players’ Union. Stakeholders have renewed their confidence in former Indomitable Lions midfielder re-electing him at the head of the organisation.

He was elected president of the Board of the African Division during FIFPRO Africa’s General Assembly which recently took place in Johannesburg, South Africa. His mandate runs from 2021-2025. Geremi Njitap will also remain on FIFPRO’s global board for a second term. He will be representing Africa in the global board alongside Khadija Timera.

“I am proud to continue to represent Africa in the global board. Proud to be accompanied by Khadija Timera, who testifies to the willingness of our continent’s members to embrace diversity and inclusion, while not hesitating to open up to civil society. Africa is on the move, strong and united.” Geremi Njitap said on FIFPRO’s official website.

The former Indomitable Lion has once again been given the opportunity to show his tactfulness off the pitch. He has the daunting task to look into the different problems of professional footballers on the continent and provide long-lasting solutions.
