Cameroon football legend Roger Milla has claimed FIFA's recent letter to Cameroon that threatened to suspend the Cameroon FA was a diabolic harsh ploy by some Cameroonians. Said Milla in an interview with Le Jour: "It was not FIFA that sent that letter. It was our people who wrote the letter to be signed by FIFA." The Cameroon minister for football gave a justification for his take by wondering aloud  "Why FIFA does not threaten the state of Benin or withdraw the authorization of their federation? Why would FIFA not suspend the US Soccer Federation? To Mr. Roger Albert Milla the Cameroonian media should stop brandishing a document written here and sent to FIFA for signature. 

The letter that did arouse the ire of his Excellency Albert Roger Milla was sent a few days after the conciliation and arbitration chamber had canceled the General Assembly meeting organized by the Joseph Owona normalization committee on June the 2nd in Yaoundé. This decision of the conciliation chamber plunged Cameroon football management into crisis. To get out of this situation, Milla suggested that footballers be associated with other stakeholders in the management of Cameroon football.

A football encounter opposing Coton Sport of Garoua and the sick man of Cameroon League 1, Canon of Yaounde has exposed the Joseph Owona nasty hands and its atrocious activities aimed at destroying Cameroon football. The match that took place on Thursday, July 30, 2015 was the National League 1's 27 playing day. Canon had traveled to Garoua battling relegation and Cameroon Concord understands all had been arranged for Canon of Yaounde to pick up the three points by fraud. The referee, Itong Christian and the match commissioner after a poor handling of the first half of the match which saw both sides at 0:0, blatantly refused to continue with the second half of the beautiful game claiming crowd disturbances and insecurity.

A commission put in place by the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) interim president Prof. Joseph Owona and chaired by his son Prof. Eric Mathias Owona Nguini ruled on Monday, August 3, 2015 that Coton Sport was guilty of crowd violence and loses the match to Canon of Yaounde. The decision Cameroon Concord gathered was based on Article 97 of the Disciplinary Code of FECAFOOT in accordance with Article 17- 1(a) and Article 20(a) of the Annex of the Disciplinary Code. At a time when clubs can barely survive financially and when Cameroon football is at its greatest low noted a Coton Sport official, "the members of the FECAFOOT normalization committee headed by Joseph Owona are contributing immensely towards the destruction of Cameroon football."

Samuel Eto'o has refuted news that he plans to launch a private television channel dedicated to sports in Cameroon. In a statement released on Friday the Cameroon football super star denied information that came out in mid-July 2015 that he was going to set up the first television channel devoted entirely to sports. Some media houses which were cited by Cameroon Concord went further by stating that the material for the launch of this channel was available at the port in Douala and that only matters of customs-related procedures were further delaying the establishment of the first sports TV channel in Cameroon. 

The Friday, July 31, 2015 Samuel Eto'o statement noted that "Following numerous rumors about the imminent launch of an imaginary SET sports television network, which have unfortunately been reported by the media, I am informing the national and international opinion that I have never intended to set up a TV channel. It is more or less fabrications coming from certain individual authors"
