FIFA name Happi, Ambomo to run Cameroon FA for 6 months

By Daily Sports on September 11, 2017

FIFA has appointed a five-man normalisation committee in an aim to manage football affairs in Cameroon for the next six months.

According to media reports, FIFA delegate Veron Mosengo-Omba has urged Cameroonians to help the committee.

The BBC website reports that Me Dieudonne Happi was named as president and Me Marcelle Denise Ambomo as vice-president.

Mosengo-Omba, FIFA's African and Caribbean Regional Director, said Cameroon fans have a big role to play and football is important.

"Cameroonians should help this committee because it is about football, you know how football is in this country, I always say Cameroon is Brazil and Argentina together in Africa," Veron Mosengo-Omba told BBC Sport.

"Football is important and if you help the committee, you help the football.”

The global football governing body has also appointed the committee after recent failed attempts by FIFA to heal internal rifts within Cameroonian football.

The committee will run FECAFOOT's daily affairs, draft new statutes and organise elections for a new executive committee.

Previous reports indicated that there have been internal squabbles in Cameroon since the 2015 elections were annulled by the Cameroon National Sports and Olympic Committee's arbitration chamber. (BBC)
