Le président de la Confédération africaine d’athlétisme (CAA), Hamad Kalkaba Malboum, a séjourné au Togo du 19 au 22 janvier 2020, dans le cadre des préparatifs des 6èmes championnats d’Afrique de cross country prévus le 8 avril à Lomé. Il était accompagné respectivement de Lamine Faty, Directeur Général et Aziz Daouda, Directeur Technique et du Développement.
But the highlight of the visit was the audience given to President Kalkaba by the President of the Republic Faure Eyadema. The CAA greatly appreciated the decision of the Togolese Head of State to support the activities of the African Athletics Development Center in Lomé as well as the option for holding the African U Championships 18 and U 20 in 2023. The Togolese authorities, through Prime Minister Komi Selor Klassou and Minister of Sports Katari Folly Bazi, who gave a warm welcome to the CAA delegation assured their full support for the Togolese federation athletics for the success of the 6th edition of the African cross country championships. President Kalkaba also took advantage of his stay to pay a visit to the residents of the AADC in Lomé led by Rafael Agopomé.
The first meeting of the new CAA Council is scheduled for April 7, followed by the African cross country championship on April 8.
