Fahmy previously worked for the organization between 2007 and 2015. Before his departure in August 2015, the 34-year-old acted as tournament director of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations hosted by Equatorial Guinea. Fahmy has a FIFA Master in Management, Law and Humanities of Sports.

He will be assisted by two other new appointees to deputize the new Secretary-General. Former Ghana international Anthony Baffoe will oversee football and development while Moroccan Essadik Alaoui will oversee administration and finance of the Africa football governing body.

The Secretary-General is the administrative head of the football governing body, who manages day-to-day affairs of CAF.
