In Cameroon, after several months of conflict, the hatchet now seems definitively buried between Samuel Eto’o, president of the Cameroonian Football Federation and the Ministry of Sports.
It is now the end of the standoff that has lasted for months in Cameroonian football circles.
On Tuesday October 8, 2024, a reconciliation meeting was organized at the presidential palace of Cameroon.
According to local media, the said meeting was organized by the Minister of State, Secretary General of the Presidency of the Republic, Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh, under the instructions of the Head of State, Paul Biya.
Present at this meeting were Samuel Eto’o, president of the governing body of Cameroonian football and the Minister of Sports, Mouelle Kombi.
According to the communications services of the Cameroonian presidency, the discussions focused in particular on strategic subjects linked to the management of sport in Cameroon.
During the meeting, it was mainly a question of putting an end to the conflict between Fecafoot and its supervisory ministry.
“The message from President Paul Biya was transmitted to the president of Fecafoot Samuel Eto’o fils and to the Minister of Sports and Physical Education Professor Narcisse Mouelle Kombi. Everyone got along. There will be no more quarrels over the management of the Indomitable Lions.
Each party will properly play its role in strict compliance with the rules. The first operation consisted of publishing a consensual list of executives responsible for leading the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon. It’s done “reported Actu Cameroun.
As a reminder, relations between the president of Fecafoot Samuel Eto’o and the Ministry of Sports deteriorated following the appointment of Belgian technician Marc Brys at the head of the Indomitable Lions without the consent of the governing body of Cameroonian football.
