CAF disqualifies Cameroon from 2024 Futsal African Cup of Nations

By Biwah Bryan

Cameroon has been banned from participating in the 2024 Futsal Africa Cup of Nations. The ban comes as a result of Cameroon’s failure to appeal their suspension, which was handed down on October 30, 2019.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) attributed Cameroon’s non-participation to a violation of its rules and regulations governing the competition. This means Cameroon has been ruled out of the 2024 Futsal Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled to take place in Morocco in April this year.

The national futsal team of Mauritania, also known as the “Cridems,” are officially qualified for the tournament’s final phase following Cameroon’s disqualification. The Fédération de Football de la République Islamique de Mauritania confirmed the. news on January 31, 2024.

This development is a significant blow to Cameroon’s national futsal team, which had been preparing for the competition for several months.
