They were immediately removed from the group. Steps were immediately taken for their replacement.
This action is the result of strict instructions given by the President of FECAFOOT acting under the mandate of the COMEX, in order to put an end to the tampering with civil status records which have, in the past, tarnished the image of the apex body of the Cameroon football.

FECAFOOT urges all actors, in particular educators, to ensure that the ages by category are respected.
