Fifa overturns global ban on Cameroon
FIFA has lifted its global ban on Cameroon after a normalisation committee began its work on Monday to run the country’s football federation.
It is being headed by former Minister of Education, Sports, Joseph Owona.
Earlier this month, Fifa banned Cameroon for governmental interference into the running of the country’s football.
The condition for the lifting of the ban was that the committee was allowed to begin work.
The team will be working under the supervision of Fifa’s Primo Carvaro and Confederation of African Football (Caf) representative Prosper Abega.
It means Cameroon will be free to play their crucial 2014 World Cup qualifier away to Libya in September, with the winner advancing to the final play-off round.
Meanwhile, club side Coton Sport will also be allowed to continue their African Champions League campaign - having failed to take part in their opening Group B match this weekend because of the ban.
The move follows a recent visit to meet Fifa president Sepp Blatter by a delegation from Cameroon that included current Sports Minister Adoum Garoua.
The normalisation committee will now act as the electoral body and will revise the statutes of the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot).
It will also organise federation elections to be held by 31 March next year. Members of the committee will not be eligible for any of the open positions at Fecafoot. There had been confusion within Cameroon football before the ban with federation elections postponed on several occasions.
When the elections did go ahead, Iya Mohamed was re-elected president despite the fact he is being detained by the authorities in Cameroon. He is being investigated after being accused of embezzling money at state-owned Cotton Development Company.
Soon after the election results were announced, Fecafoot’s elections appeals committee declared them void. In the aftermath, John Begheni Ndeh announced himself head of the federation and started work with the help of police, which was deemed as political interference by Fifa. -bbc
