It appears that Mbombo Njoya has successfully secured the position of vice-president of the Cameroonian Football Federation (Fécafoot) and has assumed leadership responsibilities, particularly during the absence of the re-elected President Iya Mohammed. The circumstances surrounding Mohammed’s incarceration in the Kondengui central prison in Yaoundé have led to Njoya taking on a prominent role within the federation.
According to Fécafoot’s statutes, Article 39 mandates the organization of a new election, and Njoya, being the vice-president, has stepped in to lead the federation during this interim period. He expresses his commitment to transparency in managing the responsibilities that come with his position.
Mbombo Njoya’s background as the second vice-president of the Board of Directors of the Cameroon professional football league since 2011 and his involvement in the competitions commission of the Confederation of African Football suggest that he brings experience and knowledge to his new role. His openness and promise of transparency indicate a commitment to good governance and accountability.
The possibility of Mbombo Njoya applying for the head of Fécafoot during the next extraordinary general assembly indicates that he may have aspirations to take on a more permanent leadership role within the federation. The dynamics within Fécafoot will likely be closely watched during this transitional period.
