The stellar line up also includes honourary International Swimming Federation President Mustapha Larfaoui and Fekrou Kidane, who is a former International Olympic Committee chief of staff now working as a senior adviser for the African Football Confederation.

Other notable names include Ahmed Fouly, President of the Union of African Sports Confederations, Rodney Swigelaar, regional director for the World Anti-Doping Agency in Africa, and first vice-president of the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa Mustapha Berraf.

The eagerly-anticipated Convention will also be attended by a host of the region's sports journalists as the event will feature what is set to be a record-breaking sports journalists' seminar.

As CISA draws ever closer, the organisation announced last week that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the International Francophone Organisation (OIF), which will see the OIF provide support to the event.

CISA will bring together more than 400 sporting leaders, decision-makers, practitioners and athletes from across Africa and the rest of the world.

The Convention will include speeches from highly-influential African sporting administrators, as well as a CISA Kids Project, a Sports Ministers seminar and an induction ceremony into the Africa Sport's Hall of Fame.
