La Fécafoot s’est commis dans un communiqué de presse destiné aux médias pour se défendre contre les présomptions de trucage des matchs par les encadreurs et les joueurs. Elle va elle-même mener sa propre enquête pour vérifier les faits qui lui sont reprochés.
MEDIA PRESS RELEASE
Recent allegations of fraud around Cameroon 2014 FIFA World Cup three preliminary games, especially Cameroon vs. Croatia, as well of the “existence of seven bad apples [in our national team]” do not reflect the values and principles promoted by our administration, in line with FIFA Code of Conduct and the ethics of our nation. We wish to inform the general public that, though not yet contacted by FIFA in regards to this affair, our administration has already instructed its Ethics Committe, to further investigate these accusations.
We are strongly committed to employ all means necessary to resolve this disruptive matter in the shortest delays. In the meantime we legitimately request that any related information, unless brought before our federation and/or its Ethics Committee, be held for or treated as mere assumption. We wish to reinstate that in fifty-five (55) years of existence, FECAFOOT has never been sanctioned for, involved in, or even linked to match fixing or any fraud of any kind.
Yaounde, 30 June 2014 PRESIDENT NORMALISATION COMMITTEE JOSEPH OWONA
