Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT) vice-president Owona Nguini is refusing to retract accusations of match-fixing related to the national team’s failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Nguini maintains his claims despite pressure from FECAFOOT, stating he “invented nothing” and possesses evidence supporting his allegations. The controversy stems from Cameroon’s elimination from World Cup qualifying following a disputed match against Algeria. FECAFOOT has demanded Nguini provide concrete proof, threatening disciplinary action if he fails to do so. Nguini alleges systemic issues within Cameroonian football contributed to the team’s poor performance and qualification failure. The situation has sparked public debate and further fractured the already strained relationship between Nguini and FECAFOOT officials. This ongoing dispute threatens to destabilize Cameroonian football governance.
