Cameroonian Football Federation
The Cameroonian Football Federation (French: Fédération Camerounaise de Football) is the governing body of football league in Cameroon. It is known as FECAFOOT.
On 11 December 2021, the acting-president of FECAFOOT, former Cameroonian international striker Samuel Eto'o, was in controversial fashion, elected president of the organisation.
It was after the First World War that the first football teams were established in Douala by the teacher Charles Lalanne. Soon, his example was followed in Yaoundé and the major centres of South Cameroon.
Around 1947 was founded by physician-colonel Baudiment "La Fédération des Sports", who organized and regulated sports in force at that time, particularly football. Leagues were formed; at the same time contacts were made with the Metropolis. Thus, on 26 February 1955 the amateur France team came to Douala and Yaoundé for two meetings. At that time, football was undergoing a great evolution. In all the more remote parts of the Territory, small clubs were taking shape and applying for membership in the League, which was chaired by Mr. Juillard.
The first extraordinary general meeting of FECAFOOT was held on 11 January 1959 in Yaoundé. The Cameroon Football League was dissolved; it was the birth of the Cameroonian Football Federation that was under the direct control of the deputy prime minister responsible for education. The first president of FECAFOOT was Ngankou Amos. The federation was affiliated with the CAF in 1963 and FIFA in 1964 (provisionally affiliated in 1962).
In 1961 a new president, Mr. Ibrahim Mbombo Njoya was elected, who would remain in office until 1964.
The first edition of the African Champions Club Cup was won by Cameroonian team Oryx Douala who beat Stade Malien of Mali 2–1 in a one-off final.
From 1964 to 1968, the First Division championship was played with 12 to 16 teams.
