Dwindling Professional Football in Cameroon

How professional is the Cameroon Football Professional League? A question many football lovers are asking following the amateurish organization of football activities in Cameroon.

The image below was taken Sunday 20th October in the course of a match for the professional football League 1 championship at the Loum municipal stadium. Observers blame Fecafoot and the Professional Football league for not adequately investing in local football.

USM of Loum played against Eding Sport de la Lekie. Besides poor infrastructure and football gadgets, some players of professional football championships in Cameroon sometimes go for months without salaries. Owners of football clubs blame the football governing body and the government for limited financial resources to improve the well being of players.

With all these, some football experts say it has a spillover effect on the performance of players in Cameroon when competing with others in other countries where local football is given due attention.
