The Central African Republic government has taken a bold and controversial step by suspending the top leadership of the Central African Football Federation (FCF).
Through a decree issued by Minister Rodolphe Doneng Wanzoumon, officials including the President, Vice-Presidents, and the Secretary General have been suspended for six months.
Notable figures affected include Mr. Clément Ndombet, Mr. Bruno Alima, Mr. Serge Hyppolite Mayer, and Mr. Octave Mahamat Adialo.
This drastic move comes in response to alleged misconduct such as disrespecting the national team, unauthorised international travel without FIFA clearance, breaches of sports ethics, and a lack of financial accountability.
The suspensions are intended to reinforce ethical governance and align with both national legislation and international sporting norms.
During the suspension period, these individuals are barred from participating in any sports-related activities on behalf of the country, with possible legal action under Law No. 10.001 from January 6, 2010.
Oversight of sports funding has now been assigned to the Central Inspectorate of Sports and Physical Education to guarantee proper financial management and transparency.
This development signals a turning point for football in the Central African Republic, highlighting the government’s intent to clean up the sport’s administration and pave the way for more responsible leadership.
