Marc Brys, newly appointed Belgian coach of the Cameroon national team, is said to have been absent from a contact meeting organized by the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) on Friday, May 10th.
The meeting was intended to introduce Brys and his recently appointed staff to FECAFOOT. While the reason for Brys’ absence remains unclear, FECAFOOT General Secretary Blaise Djounang announced a rescheduled meeting for the coming days, hoping for Brys’ attendance.
Those present at the initial meeting included Benoît Angbwa (FECAFOOT-appointed selection coordinator), Thierry Ndoh (FECAFOOT team press officer), DTN Engelbert Mbarga, assistant coaches Ndtoungou Mpile and David Pagou, and others.
Djounang explained that the two absent officials besides Brys were unable to finalize administrative procedures to arrive in Cameroon on time.
Despite his absence, Brys is still expected to announce the list of players who will represent Cameroon in the upcoming June qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. The announcement is anticipated today, May 10th, at 3:00 PM at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium. Cameroon’s fixtures include matches against Cape Verde and Angola.
