The re-election of Iya Mohamed as the head of the Cameroonian Football Federation (Fecafoot) has left many Cameroonians perplexed. There is widespread confusion about the future of football in the country, and the decision to reappoint Iya Mohamed, who is in detention for embezzlement, is causing concern. According to Cameroonian media, the election process for the Fecafoot presidency is seen as a political-sporting saga.
Negotiations and discussions with the Prime Minister were conducted, proposing the formation of a consensus office that would include some former football stars. However, this proposal was rejected by the general assembly, and a forced passage by voting was chosen. Ultimately, the list led by the outgoing president, Iya Mohamed, won the vote. Some media outlets see this decision as a defiance of the authorities, as Iya Mohamed will spend his first night in prison in Cameroon while being re-elected.
