Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>The Lesotho Football Association (LeFA) President Advocate Salemane Phafane Kings Council (KC) has been recommended by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to serve in yet<\/p>\n

another important position in the Disciplinary Committee of Federation of International Football Association (FIFA). This is per the media briefing statement issued by LeFA last week.<\/p>\n

It reminded that LeFA President is not new to serving football at the highest level having previously served two terms as the Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) Vice President<\/p>\n

and also in the legal committee of FIFA. In an interview with Informative Sport on Monday LeFA Information and Media Officer Mikia Kalati said this is a recommendation, and there are some stages that need to be followed, after<\/p>\n

which the members of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee will be informed about their positions and mandates. \u201cLeFA President professionally has a history in<\/p>\n

legal practice and he was earlier engaged in the FIFA legal committee, therefore this committee which he is recommended for is similar to the Disputes<\/p>\n

and Protests Committee (DISPROCO) which deals with the disciplinary administrations and legal issues within the country,\u201d he explained. Asked about LeFA President\u2019s<\/p>\n

experience in administration and football locally and internationally, LeFA Information Officer stated that LeFA President served as the member of the<\/p>\n

COSAFA Executive Committee, member of the COSAFA Finance Committee, COSAFA Vice President and later became COSAFA Honorary President. \u201cLeFA President started his<\/p>\n

experience in the Lesotho Football in 1980s as Bantu Football Club (FC) Secretary General (SG) from 1984 until 1987 when he became LeFA SG holding the position<\/p>\n

until 2002. Between 2002 and 2004, he became LeFA Vice President before being the association\u2019s President in 2005 and he used to be its legal advisor in a<\/p>\n

position he held since 1993,\u201d Kalati enlightened. The statement further showed that the association congratulates Phafane, saying it is \u201cgrateful that the son of the<\/p>\n

soil is being considered for a position of such great importance by the world football governing body\u201d. \u201cThis indicates how the administration of international football in the African Continent admires the<\/p>\n

experiences of LeFA President. Therefore this implies that as a country we are on the right track, heading on another level in football administration by getting recognition in the international football fraternity,\u201d further reads the statement.<\/p>\n
