Abdouraman Hamadou, President of a local football team in Cameroon alongside Joseph Antoine Bell and Elisabeth Loga who petitioned for the annulment of the just ended elections of the Cameroon Football Federation aka FECAFOOT have won the case hence the elections of officials into the various organs from Sub divisional up to National level will be done again.
A November 12 verdict by the Chamber of Conciliation and Arbitration of the Cameroon Olympic Committee [CNOSC}, ruled the matter in favor of Abdouraman who in an earlier press conference in August said he does not want any post but legality to be the watch word in the management of Cameroon football. Abdouraman and Co deposited a complain at CNOSC requesting the committee to annul the status of the Cameroon Football association arguing that the provisions drawn up by the normalization Committee and adopted on 5/9/2015 violated article 23 of the Federal Electoral College and article 33 of the code of the Chamber of Arbitration.
In a statement issued to the press, the complainant stated that “the engagement I am taking is sincere and aimed mainly at restructuring football in Cameroon”. He said those who are managing football in the country do not have interest for the sports and were imposed on the Cameroon football family by FIFA and the Normalization Committee to preserve a number of “shameful interests”. The verdict cancelling the 1st resolution was adopted by Parliament during the special session of August 5.
Reacting to the news, Cameroon football legend, Joseph Antoine Bell said he was happy and that “…..all what was done from the text has been cancelled. We have to begin from scratch”. Correspondingly, John B. Ndeh who was 1st. national vice President of Fecafoot under the disgraced Iya Mohammed now has to take over the running of the Cameroon Football Federation.
At the time of filing this report, we gathered that Abdouraman and John B. Ndeh have been summoned by the Prime Minister, Philemon Yang. However, Tombi A Roko and Co, have 21 days to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sports in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The Pharaohs of Egypt suffered a surprise 0-1 loss to Chad in the first leg of their 2018 Fifa World Cup in N'Djamena on Saturday.
A second half goal by Ezechiel N'Douassel ensured that the Chadians claimed a famous victory over one of Africa's powerhouses as the World Cup qualification on the continent continued to throw up shocking results.
Interestingly it was just two months ago that the Egyptians brushed aside the Chadians 5-1 in a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match at the same venue.
But there was not going to be a repeat of such scoreline for Hector Cuper's men, who played with two strikers in Bassem Morsi and Ahmed Hassan.
It was clear from the way Chad head coach Rigobert Song set up his side to play the Egyptians that they were out to stymie the North Africans from replicating the 5-1 scoreline of September in the Afcon qualifier.
The Egyptians enjoyed a larger chunk of the possession in the first 45 minutes, limiting the hosts to just a couple of scoring chances - and half-chances at that.
Football being a game of two halves was proven so by the Chadians in the business end of the game. Chad were all over Egypt like a bee swamped over honey, and surprisingly too considering how the first half played out.
And 17 minutes to time, N'Douassel, from an unmarked position, headed the winner away for the Chadians.
Then like the waves of a sea, the Egyptians poured forward in numbers in search of a late goal to put the game on even terms.
But Chad held on for a famous victory as they will now take a one-goal advantage to Egypt for the second leg at the Bog El-Arab Stadium in Alexandria on Tuesday.
Egypt were without the quartet of Mohamed Salah, Mohamed Abdel-Shafi, Rami Rabia and Hazem Emam, ruled out because of injuries and fitness concerns.

Volke Finke, the erstwhile coach of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, has said ``Joseph Owona former normalization committee chair was probably a great minister who has done great service to Cameroon, but in football in knows completely nothing. The German football technician also observed that Tombi A. Roko, a business man, Jo Kamnga and a certain Ribiero don’t work for Cameroon football but for their pockets`` Volke Finke placed the failures and calamity in the Cameroon Football Federation on the doorsteps of someone he declined to mention his name.
In an exclusive interview with Canal 2 International, Finke said Fecafoot and the Cameroon government owe him 19 months salary of the 24 under contract and a good bonus separation as a friendly way to solve the differences. The close to 700million francs according to Finke is part of his 2 years renewed contract with the Cameroon authorities of which only 5 months pay has already been transferred into his bank account.
On the selection of players into the national team, Finke told Canal 2 International that, `` during the Brazil 2014 World Cup, I selected 12 of the 23 players and the rest by other sponsors as my list to Fecafoot was constantly changed sometimes with a large difference.`` He further explained that after the Brazil fiasco, Fecafoot officials told him to forget about Samuel Eto'o and Alex Song to which he had no option. Also, the former coach observed, `` Its Tombi who negotiated all friendly matches with the help of a certain Jo Kamnga who is not competent hence very often, arrangements were never completed on time and I was simply told to play the games they found for me…``
Finke revealed that the lone friendly match he negotiated against Germany before the world cup was ``fine`` but regretted the one against Nigeria in which the Lions were thrashed saying ``unbelievable things happened………….extra ordinary to change the place and time of the match without informing the coach. In addition, he was aware that Alexandre Belinga will take over from him before the match against Niger and thinks Bonaventure Djonkep is more experienced than Belinga. Logically he could have been the head coach. Nevertheless, the coaches are experienced and I wish them luck in the future. Volke Finke is currently in Cameroon with International lawyers to sue Fecafoot and the Cameroon Government for ``wrongful breach of contract``

The Chamber of Conciliation and Arbitration of the National Olympic and Sports Committee of Cameroon (CNOSC), has annulled the elections that brought Tombi Siddiki as president of the Cameroon Football Federation aka FECAFOOT. The decision that was made public on Thursday has further plunged the already fragmented FECAFOOT into another major crisis and rubbished an entire electoral process that caused the Cameroon football family more than a billion CFA.
The procedure was initiated by Abdouraman Hamadou, a Cameroonian soccer player who challenged the organization of the poll. FECAFOOT has 21 days to challenge the decision of the CCA. But in the meantime, it has made void any decision of the president, who, after his electoral victory, dismissed Volker Finke, head coach of the Indomitable Lions. The German technician has reportedly filed a complaint against the Federation, for "unfair dismissal”.

The Indomitable Lions brushed aside Niger 3-0 in a spectacular match on Friday night in the 2018 Fifa World Cup qualification second-round first leg clash at the Stade Général Seyni Kountché in Niamey.
Niger collapsed towards the end of the first half as Our boys ran riot scoring three times within four minutes. There were no goals in the second half.
The home side were able to contain the Indomitable Lions in the opening stages of the encounter. However, the Indomitable Lions stepped up their tempo after the half-hour mark.
In the 36th minute Cameroon's central defensive midfielder Stephane Mbia opened the scoring against Niger with a good header.
It was soon 2-0 to the Indomitable Lions three minutes later. Portugal-based striker Vincent Aboubakar hit the back of the net from a free-kick.
Things went from bad to worse for the Menas five minutes before the halftime as Edgar Salli made it 3-0 to Cameroon.
In the second half, Niger pushed for their first goal of the match. However, the Indomitable Lions stood firm as they protected their lead.
Niger head coach François Zahoui decided to introduce Idrissa Halidou for Mohamane Cisse in the 73rd minute as the home side looked to mount pressure onto the Cameroon defence.
Ultimately, Cameroon coach Alexandre Belinga's charges managed to hold onto their lead and the match ended 3-0 in their favour.
The second leg is scheduled to take place at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaoundé on Tuesday. Egyptian referee Gehad Grisha will be in charge of the game.
