In 2006, after continuing his studies at the Claude Bernard University of Lyon, Ahmad Ahmad obtained a Master 2 in Sport Management, specializing in "Management of Sports Organisations".

2016

In 2016, he was appointed Senator of Madagascar, vice-president of the Senate by the President of Madagascar Hery Rajaonarimampianina.

In November 2016, Ahmad Ahmad, through the Malagasy Football Federation, of which he has been president since 2003, presented his candidacy for the Presidency of the African Football Confederation, the highest continental body.

2017

On 17 March 2017, at the CAF General Assembly in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), the year of the 60th anniversary of the institution, Ahmad Ahmad won the election by obtaining 34 votes out of 54 voters, ending the 29 years presidency of Issa Hayatou.

He was elected President of the African Football Confederation and, in fact, vice-president of FIFA.

The first months of his mandate were welcomed, with his reform commitment being regularly highlighted.

In 2017, following the Rabat (Morocco) Symposium, Ahmad proposed to reform the format of African football competitions, including the African Cup of Nations.

Between 2017 and 2020, the subsidies paid by the Confederation of African Football to Clubs, National Federations and Councils have greatly increased, making it possible to develop competitions and infrastructures, particularly for the training of young people.

2018

In March 2018, in Marrakech (Morocco), CAF is organising the first Symposium on Women's Football to put in place initial development measures.

2019

The new format was accepted, and implemented from the 2019 edition in Egypt, with an enlarged number of participants and the introduction of the VAR to assist refereeing.

However, in 2019, faced with the internal difficulties encountered by the executive committee of the Confederation of African Football to carry out its reforms, Ahmad Ahmad undertook an unprecedented step by requesting a six-month partnership with FIFA, which was accepted by Gianni Infantino, the President of the international organisation, to assist and audit CAF.

Some football leaders on the continent will criticise this approach, describing it as "under tutelage".

On 6 June 2019, he was heard by the Central Office for the Fight against Corruption and Financial and Fiscal Infractions (OCLCIFF) in Paris while attending the FIFA Congress.

2020

The partnership ends in February 2020, and CAF will use its good results to present a new reform plan: "Transform CAF 2021 ".

On 8 June 2020, Ahmad Ahmad honours a new campaign promise by obtaining the agreement of the Egyptian House of Representatives for the signing of a headquarters agreement between the Egyptian State and CAF valid for 10 years.

This agreement allows the continental football organisation to benefit from the status of an international non-governmental organisation, with all the related advantages.

Women's football is also undergoing a historic development under the Presidency of Ahmad Ahmad.

In July 2020, CAF announces the launch of a development strategy for women's football called "It's time it's now " which is based on five main pillars: development, competitions, marketing and promotion, professionalisation and leadership, and social impact.

On 5 July 2020, the executive committee of CAF announced that on Ahmad Ahmad's proposal, the Women's Champions League will be created as of 2021: it is the first women's competition at the Confederation level.

On 10 September, it is announced that the first edition will bring together 8 teams.

Following four years of Presidency, on 24 October 2020, 46 Presidents of the 54 member associations of CAF called on Ahmad Ahmad to present his candidacy for a second mandate.

On 28 October 2020, through an interview given to the BBC and Jeune Afrique, Ahmad Ahmad announces that he will stand for re-election on 17 March 2021.

However, following his suspension by CAS, he could not stand for election.

The South African mining magnate and billionaire Patrice Motsepe, the only candidate, succeeded him as CAF President against the backdrop of accusations of interference by FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
