Referring to the CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) ruling of 15 January 2021 which annulled the various decisions proclaiming the results of the elections of the president and members of the departmental and regional leagues and of the executive committee of the FECAFOOT, FIFA has just, in undiplomatic terms, aggravated the humiliation by mentioning the following in its correspondence dated 16 January addressed to the general secretary of FECAFOOT:

1- "the EXCEPTIONAL mandate thus granted to the bodies currently in place will be STRICTLY MONITORED BY FIFA".

2- "It will be LIMITED TO THE TASKS ENSURING THE CONTINUITY OF CURRENT BUSINESSES and those related to the SUBSEQUENT ADOPTION OF the required statutes and regulations and the organisation of new elections".

The departmental and regional leagues and the Executive Committee of the FECAFOOT have simply become postal agencies of the FIFA. The members of these bodies will therefore be simple FIFA postal agents.

Beyond being humiliated, dignity and a sense of honour and ethics require the collective and immediate resignation of all the members of these bodies in order to avoid the RIDUCULE in the eyes of national and international public opinion.

It is imperative that the new electoral process leading to the new elections of the leaders of the departmental and regional leagues as well as those of Fecafoot be carried out with the necessary transparency and fairness in order to avoid yet another humiliation. And for football to be reborn in our stadiums.

Hon. Jean Michel NINTCHEU
