The agent representing Belgian coach Marc Brys in Cameroon has lodged a formal complaint with FIFA over alleged unpaid commissions, according to Belgian outlet VoetbalNieuwsBe.
Ivo Chi, who acted on behalf of Brys during negotiations for his role as head coach of the Cameroon national team, has taken the dispute to world football’s governing body.
He claims he is owed a commission stemming from the contractual agreement that secured Brys’ appointment to lead the Indomitable Lions.
The specifics of the complaint, including the exact amount being demanded, have not yet been publicly disclosed.
However, the legal move threatens to add another layer of complexity to an already delicate situation surrounding Cameroon’s national team setup.
Sources close to the matter suggest the financial disagreement could strain the professional relationship between Brys and Chi, raising questions about transparency and contract enforcement in the Cameroonian Football Federation’s administrative operations.
This development arrives amid ongoing efforts by the national federation to stabilise the management of the team, following a turbulent period marked by leadership changes and performance inconsistencies on the pitch.
FIFA is expected to review the complaint in the coming weeks to assess whether a formal investigation is warranted. If the case proceeds, it could set a precedent for how agent-related disputes are handled within national team appointments, particularly in African federations.
While Brys has not yet commented on the issue, the case may prove disruptive as preparations for upcoming international fixtures intensify.
With the Indomitable Lions seeking a return to form under new leadership, further controversy could hinder progress both on and off the field.
