Geremi Njitap has been re-elected as President of FIFPro Africa during the congress held in Rabat, Morocco, from September 12-13, 2024.
Njitap, a former Indomitable Lions midfielder, has held this pivotal role since December 2017, marking a significant tenure of nearly seven years dedicated to advancing the rights and welfare of professional footballers across the continent.
His leadership has been instrumental in addressing critical issues within African football, particularly the rampant non-payment crisis affecting players. Under his stewardship, the National Union of Cameroonian Footballers (SYNAFOC) launched a monthly “barometer” tool to monitor and report the salary payment status of clubs, revealing that only a fraction of teams in the top tiers are compliant with their financial obligations.

The former Chelsea player’s influence extends beyond Cameroon; he represents Africa on FIFPro’s global board, where he champions the interests of African players on the world stage.
His re-election signals a continued commitment to enhancing player rights, improving working conditions, and promoting the professionalization of football across the continent. As he embarks on this new term, Njitap aims to build on his achievements, ensuring that the voices of African footballers are heard and respected.
