World soccer governing body, FIFA, is now considering ejecting the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon from taking part in the remaining 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The reason for the imminent action, Heritage Times HT gathered, is due to ongoing dispute between the President of FECAFOOT Samuel Eto’o and the Cameroon government.
Origin of Dispute
Reports from Cameroon had revealed that the former President of its federation, Eto’o has not been satisfied with the appointment of Marc Brys as the coach of the national team.
Without mincing words, Eto’o had threatened to block his resumption.
According to an update from Cameroon, the former Barcelona striker is likely to refuse to send invites to players for the upcoming qualifiers.
Cameroon will face Cape Verde and Angola in rounds 3 and 4 of the qualifiers.
“The coach Marc Brys is working, he’s on your. He will establish his list of players and it will be sent to the federation and I can promise you that it will send it to the appropriate person.
“I do not see FECAFOOT taking on the heavy responsibility of having Cameroon eliminated because it will not have sent invites to the players.
“Even at FECAFOOT, we can have the difference, but the national interest must take precedence,” the technical advisor to the Sports ministry said.
Should the feud continue, FIFA will likely suspend football activities in the country.
