Cameroon Football Federation Suspends 62 Players for Alleged Identity Fraud

The suspensions, including a player from the Africa Cup of Nations squad, raise concerns over potential tournament bans.

  • The Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) has suspended 62 players for inconsistencies in their identities, including allegations of 'double identity' and age fraud.
  • Among the suspended is Wilfried Nathan Douala, a player who was part of Cameroon's squad for the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year, raising questions about his age and identity.
  • Victoria United, Douala's club, has contested the suspension, claiming a possible error by Fecafoot and has submitted documents for review.
  • The situation is described as 'provisional' by Fecafoot, with ongoing requests that could alter the suspensions.
  • The African Football is conducting a separate investigation into Fecafoot president Samuel Eto'o for accusations including match-fixing and abuse of power.
