The deadline for nominations for President of the Cameroon Football
Federation (FECAFOOT) was set for Monday, November 17, 2014. Yet only five applications
are said to have been submitted. As November 29th draws closer there
heat in the air as who succeeds Iya Mohammed at the helm of FECAFOOT. It is
worth mentioning the constitution of the Electoral College was made public by
the Fécafoot who also recalled through a press release, the eligibility for the
position of President and the composition of the list of the executive
committee. While all eyes are set towards the validation, The Eye gathered that
Jules Nyongha, Robert Penne, Joseph Antoine Bell, Robert Atah and Tombi Roko
are on the starting block.
Jules Nyongha: He announced
his candidacy on November 13 during a press conference in Yaounde. The former
coach of the Indomitable Lions wants to use his experience with all of
football, and clubs or national technical direction as in the past to revamp
soccer.
Robert Penne: The former
vice-president of the FECAFOOT is probably person with the right profile,
especially for being at the head of the Cameroonian delegation to the Sydney
Olympics in 2000. In the sports world, he also managed CENAJES Bertoua and the regional
Football League in the East region.
Joseph Antoine
Bell: The former
Indomitable Lions goalkeeper solemnly declared his candidacy at a press
conference in Yaounde on November 9. Since then, this former player of Union
Douala is campaigning to both business magnates and club presidents to support
his programme to revamp football.
Robert Atah: He was the
early bird given he was one of the first to have publicly announced his
Presidential ambitions. Atah many thinks is also a good man and "the only
candidate that can straighten our football."
Tombi Roko
Sidiki: He is the
former Secretary General of FECAFOOT and he is maybe one of the last to have
declared his ambition publicly. His candidacy, however, was expected in the
world of football, particularly with regard to support and calls for his
candidacy by some players.
