Will Marc Brys work with the technical staff appointed by the Ministry of Sports and Physical Education (MINSEP) or the one appointed by the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT)? This has been a million-dollar question since the appointments were made at different levels.
MINSEP and FECAFOOT have been at odds, with neither side willing to back down. After the working session at FECAFOOT on May 13, many believed that since Marc Brys and his team took a group photo with the FECAFOOT-appointed staff, he had decided to work with them.
However, questions continue to linger as the words of the Technical Advisor at MINSEP have cast doubt. With Cameroon having just a few days until their two matches scheduled for June, the situation is not ideal, and fans are worried about the outcome.
“It is sad to say that we have become the laughingstock of the world because of this bad spectacle that MINSEP and FECAFOOT are offering us,” said Silas Tang. “Even countries where war reigns do not have two technical staffs.”
James Boh added, “The Indomitable Lions label has taken too many hits in recent years. Beyond the poor performances, look at what is happening. There is simply no understanding; no one wants to listen. I am ashamed for my country. This standoff will take us nowhere. Someone, somewhere, has to take charge.”
As the qualifiers draw closer, the shadow of doubt continues to hang over the minds of supporters. Cameroon will face Cape Verde in Yaoundé before facing Angola a few days later in Angola, both matches being part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the African zone.
