The election to fill the vacant presidency of the national football federation will be held before the end of this year, according to officials. The election has been expanded to include a broader electorate, allowing more members to participate in the vote.
The expansion was confirmed by the federation's electoral committee, which stated that the move aims to increase transparency and representation. The exact date of the election has not yet been announced, but it is expected to take place in the coming months.
The previous president resigned in early 2026, leaving the position vacant. The federation has been under scrutiny from sports authorities and fans, who have called for reforms in the governing body.
The expanded election is seen as a step toward addressing these concerns, with a wider range of clubs and regional associations now eligible to cast votes. Candidates must submit their applications by the end of September, according to the committee.
The election process will be monitored by independent observers to ensure fairness, as part of ongoing efforts to restore confidence in the federation's leadership.
