Protesters of the new executive of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) are not ready to give up. The former goalkeeper of the Indomitable Lions, Joseph-Antoine Bell, former head of the department of communication of FECAFOOT, Abdouraman Hamadou and Emmanuel Loga of the regional league of Littoral are always challenging Tombi A Roko Sidiki to the title of president of FECAFOOT.

So it is logical that the trio, with their cronies, attack all actions by present officials posted at FECAFOOT. The announcement of the friendly match between the Blues of France and the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, did not escape the rule. After the publication of this information on the 9th February 2016, the protesters reacted immediately.

Barrister George Wamba Makollo, lawyer of Bell, Abdouraman, and Loga sent on that same day, a formal notice to the French Football Federation (FFF), asking them to stop the cooperation with the Executive in place at FECAFOOT.
Barrister Mwamba, attached to his letter the sentence from the Chamber of Conciliation and Arbitration of 1st October 2015, canceling all statutes of FECAFOOT and that of 12th November annulling the entire electoral process organized at FECAFOOT.

The lawyer warns, “therefore, any contract, agreements, commitments, partnership that the French Football Federation would sign with Mr. Tombi A Roko, will be null and void. Furthermore, we inform you that in view of what Mr Tombi A Roko occupies by force the local of FECAFOOT, the case is now pending before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland, “he concluded.

After trying on a national level unsuccessfully to prevent Tombi to preside over the Cameroonian football, protesters therefore adopt a different approach internationally. Will it be more successful than the first, let’s just wait and see.
