Andre Ayew welcomes Fatma Samoura

Ghana international Andre Ayew has welcomed Fifa's appointment of an African woman as its first female secretary general.

It is hoped that Fatma Samoura's two decades of experience as a UN diplomat will help her restore the image of world football.

Andre Ayew says it is a huge appointment for the continent.

'Hopefully, she'll make our continent proud', Ayew said.
