Cameroonian Football Federation

The Cameroonian Football Federation is the governing body of football in Cameroon. It is known as FECAFOOT. On 11 December 2021, the acting-president of FECAFOOT, former Cameroonian international striker Samuel Eto'o Fil, was elected president of the organisation. History It was after the First World War that the first football teams were established in Douala by the teacher Charles Lalanne. Soon, his example was followed in Yaoundé and the major centres of South Cameroon. Around 1947 was founded by physician-colonel Baudiment "La Fédération des Sports", who organized and regulated sports in force at that time, particularly football. Leagues were formed; at the same time contacts were made with the Metropolis. Thus, on 26 February 1955 the amateur France team came to Douala and Yaoundé for two meetings. At that time, football was undergoing a great evolution. In all the more remote parts of the Territory, small clubs were taking shape and applying for membership in the League, which was chaired by Mr. Juillard.
