Former CAF General Secretary Amr Fahmy died on Sunday at the age of 36 after a long battle with cancer.

Fahmy was appointed in November 2017 as a replacement for Moroccan Hicham El Amran but got fired less than two years into the job.

This was after he had he accused CAF's president Ahmad Ahmad of bribes and misuse of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

His father and grandfather also served in that the same position.
