Fifa invited me to Qatar as president of the NFA, period,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the Fifa-CAF delegation meeting him last week, Haikali, who along with the rest of the NFA executive committee, was expelled by the association&#8217;s members, he again referred to the Fifa-CAF invitations to him.<\/p>\n<p>However, he did not shed light on the feud between him and NFA secretary general Franco Cosmos. \u201cI will suggest you ask the GS if he reports to me,\u201d he said. Haikali also dismissed notions that he has been withholding money for the association&#8217;s day-to-day running.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am stunned to hear that the starting of football is delayed by me for refusing to sign or release funds. If I am suspended and the signatories rights have been cancelled or changed. I have no access to the accounts nor do I sign for the release of funds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that: \u201cI only refused to sign off annual financial statements (AFC 2019\/20) that were cooked and not reflecting the truth. I have fiduciary responsibilities and will never be coerced into signing unreliable or false AFS&#8217;s that are qualified by auditors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But newly-installed NFA marketing and communications manager Cassius Moetie remains adamant that Haikali&#8217;s tenure at Football House is a thing of the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe executive accepted the dismissal and Haikali is no longer the president of the association,\u201d said Moetie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
