Military Intervention: Colonel Émile Joël Bamkoui intervenes, urging FECAFOOT to provide necessary equipment, ensuring Lions' training continuity

He asserted that the president of the Cameroonian Football Federation (Fecafoot) purportedly sought an audience with the Minister of Sports and Physical Education.

Indeed, it is a verifiable fact that the Indomitable Lions commenced their inaugural training session on Monday, June 3rd, 2024, at the military stadium in Yaoundé. Originally scheduled for 3:00 PM, the session commenced at 5:00 PM due to unforeseen circumstances:

the Indomitable Lions were allegedly deprived of their bus, jerseys, and other essential equipment by the Cameroonian Football Federation (Fecafoot).

Facing this unexpected setback, the Cameroonian government swiftly devised an alternative plan, procuring One All Sports jerseys from a supplier to ensure the seamless continuation of the Indomitable Lions' training camp. However, the Fecafoot adamantly refused to provide this equipment to the government-appointed staff, leading to the federation's announcement of its withdrawal from the preparation of the Cameroonian Indomitable Lions.

Moreover, the journalist revealed that Samuel Eto'o, the president of the Cameroonian Football Federation (Fecafoot), allegedly requested an audience with the Minister of Sports and Physical Education.

Subsequent developments have unfolded. According to Guy Zogo's report on "100% Football" on Equinoxe TV, Colonel Émile Joël Bamkoui, commander of the Division of Military Security at the Ministry of Defense, intervened. Zogo claimed that Colonel Émile Joël Bamkoui contacted the secretary-general of the Cameroonian Football Federation (Fecafoot), urging him to provide the Indomitable Lions with the necessary equipment.

This last-minute intervention bore fruit, as confirmed by Guy Zogo in his report on "100% Football" on Equinoxe TV: "The Indomitable Lions will take to the field on Saturday, June 8th, 2024, clad in One All Sports jerseys." Furthermore, the journalist noted that Samuel Eto'o, the president of the Cameroonian Football Federation (Fecafoot), purportedly requested an audience with the Minister of Sports and Physical Education, Narcisse Mouelle Kombi. The purpose of this request remains shrouded in mystery, with no definitive answer available at present.
