Cameroon seems to be pressing the self-destruct button four days to the crucial 2026 world cup play off against DR Congo.
Regrettably, the crisis is an unnecessary one as it bothers on where to unveil the team list for the play off against DR Congo.
While the Cameroon Football Federation,FECAFOOT led by Samuel Eto wants Coach Marc Brys to announce it in Yaounde, the coach wants to announce it from from Morocco, where he is currently residing.
Brys argues there is no need travelling to Yaoundé just to announce a list of players, but the football federation thinks otherwise.
Officials of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) have refused to publish or submit Brys’ list unless he shows up in the country, a move that threatens to delay preparations for one of the Indomitable Lions’ biggest assignments in years.
The standoff has once again exposed the fractured relationship between the Belgian coach and the federation, whose uneasy alliance has been marred by disputes, politics, and power plays since his appointment by the Sports Ministry.
As the crisis festers the chances of Cameroon qualifying for the mundial is seriously threatened for a country where football is like religion.
It was bad enough that the Indomitable Lions could not qualify automatically like Nigeria,failing to also qualify from the play offs will hurt Cameroonian football fans .
Cape Verde qualified from their group ahead of Nigeria for register their maiden appearance at the global showpiece come 2026.
