FECAFOOT warns football club officials against causing confusion
The Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) has warned officials of some professional and amateur football clubs against causing confusion. The group jointly decided via a press release that they will only take part in the 2023/2024 local championships called for by the Professional Football League of Cameroon (LFPC), to be careful.
This warning is contained in a press release signed by the Secretary General of FECAFOOT, Djounang Blaise on 18 August 2023.
“We have discovered with amazement on social media, a press release signed by certain professional and amateur football club officials following a clandestine meeting summoned at the Kristal Hotel in Douala that these clubs decided not to participate in the 2023/2024 professional championships and will only participate if under the guidance and the administration of the Professional Football League of Cameroon (LFPC). They also went as far as requesting the President of the said league to convene a session of the LFPC General Assembly to prepare for the launch of the Elite 1 and Elite 2 championships for the 2023/2024 sports season. FECAFO0T warns the initiators of such disruptive attitudes, while noting that this manoeuvre emanating from clubs sanctioned by the judicial organs of FECAFOOT or relegated to the lower division, engages only its authors and has the sole ambition of causing public confusion” a section of the communiqué reads.
In the press release, FECAFOOT also reminded them that the sentences handed down by the Court of Arbitration for Sports, CAS dated August 15, 2023 do not give the LFPC the right to organize local football championships.
FECAFOOT furthered that, the withdrawal of powers from the LFPC by the decision of the Executive Committee of FECAFOOT of November 04, 2020, confirmed by CAS award 2020 /A/7513 of August 12, 2021 is maintained and only the Transitional Council of Professional Football remains the competent body in charge of the organization and the management of professional football championships in Cameroon.
