Eng. Hersi Said is the President of Young Africans Sports Club (Yanga SC) and the Chairman of the African Clubs Association (ACA). Originally an engineer by profession and a key corporate executive within the GSM Group, Hersi transitioned into sports administration and executed one of the most successful club transformations in African football history. Acting initially as the investment representative for GSM, Hersi restructured Yanga from a struggling, debt-ridden community club into a modern, financially robust corporate entity. Under his presidency, Yanga SC achieved unprecedented domestic dominance (winning multiple back-to-back trebles) and reached the final of the CAF Confederation Cup in 2023. His managerial brilliance was recognized globally when he was elected as the inaugural Chairman of the newly formed African Clubs Association by CAF in late 2023.
