A five-man Normalisation Committee has been appointed by Fifa to manage football in Cameroon for the next six months.
Me Dieudonne Happi was named as president, Me Marcelle Denise Ambomo as vice-president and Maurice Samuel Bellet Edimo, Dr Abdou Oumarou and Kevin Njomo Kamdem as members.
“Football is important and if you help the committee, you help the football,” Mosengo-Omba said. The Bureau of the FIFA Council decided wednesday to appoint a Normalisation Committee for the FECAFOOT in accordance with article 14 par. 1a and article 8 par. 2 of the FIFA Statutes.
The resort to a Normalisation Committee is the fall out of the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to annul the electoral process leading to the election of the current FECAFOOT executive committee in 2015.
Attempts by FIFA to reconcile the football stakeholders in Cameroon failed leading to the current impasse.
The mandate of the Normalisation Committee will include the following tasks:
- To run the daily affairs of FECAFOOT;
- To draft new statutes in consultation with all stakeholders and in compliance with FIFA’s Statutes and standards as well as mandatory national law;
- To review the statutes of the regional and departmental leagues and ensure their alignment with the FECAFOOT statutes;
- To identify the delegates of the FECAFOOT general assembly and of the regional and departmental leagues;
- To organise and conduct elections of a new FECAFOOT executive committee.
Cameroon’s Sports Minister, Pierre Ismael Bidoung Kwpatt, met with the new normalisation committee members, and reinforced Fifa’s message to them.
“Your priority should be to put in place structures and texts for the harmonious development of football”.
“Government reiterates its commitment to accompany you for serenity to return to the Cameroon football family”, the Minister said.
