FIFA Secretary General quits after seven years

Switzerland: Fatma Samoura, the Secretary General of FIFA, has revealed her decision to step down from her position after serving for seven years.

The 60-year-old has chosen to dedicate more time to her family and will continue to oversee the upcoming Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand before officially leaving at the end of the year.

Appointed in 2016 as the first woman and non-European to hold the role, Samoura's selection came as a surprise following the election of Gianni Infantino as FIFA President.

Reflecting on her tenure, she expressed satisfaction with her decision to join FIFA, describing it as the best decision of her life.

As she prepared to bid farewell to FIFA, Samoura expressed a deep sense of pride and fulfillment.
