It’s the crisis in Cameroon! Beaten to the wire by Congo (0-1), last Thursday in the semi-final of the play-offs for the 2026 World Cup, the Indomitable Lions will not travel to America this summer. And this enormous disillusionment for the Cameroonian selection should not remain without consequences…
According to media information CFOOTthe Cameroonian Football Federation (Fecafoot), led by legend Samuel Eto’o, is reportedly preparing the dismissal of coach Marc Brys. It must be said that the Belgian technician does not only have friends within the Cameroonian football body.
Indeed, the rag has been burning for many months between Samuel Eto’o and Marc Brys, who has never been appreciated by the former FC Barcelona striker, who dreams of getting rid of it. He also does not hesitate to put a spoke in the Belgian’s wheels, as when he prohibited Joachim Mununga, Brys’ assistant, from being able to accompany the national team.
Brys and Eto’o thrown out?
Yes, but now, only the Minister of Sports, Narcisse Mouelle Kombi, has this power to thank the coach. And the member of the government, in open conflict with Samuel Eto’o, supports Marc Brys body and soul. But this non-qualification for the next World Cup could well change the situation…
As the CAN approaches, which will take place from December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026 in Morocco, Cameroon could well make its revolution. Because Samuel Eto’o, too, would be on an ejection seat.
