Below is the FIFA release titled 'Suspension of the Cameroonian Football Association'
"The FIFA Emergency Committee has decided
today, 4 July 2013, to provisionally suspend the Cameroonian Football
Association (FECAFOOT) with immediate effect, on account of government
interference. Articles 13 and 17 of the FIFA Statutes oblige member associations to manage their affairs independently and with no influence from third parties.
A normalisation committee will be set up as provided under article 7 par. 2 of the FIFA Statutes
to revise the FECAFOOT statutes and to organise elections for new
office bearers by 31 March 2014, at the same time as managing the daily
business.
The FIFA administration, in cooperation with CAF, will identify and nominate the members of the normalisation committee.
The
normalisation committee will act as an electoral body, whose decisions
will be final and binding. Its members will not be eligible for any of
the open positions.
The suspension will be
lifted once the country authorities allow the new normalisation
committee to enter the FECAFOOT headquarters and to carry out its
activities unhindered.
To avoid any conflict of interest, the CAF President Issa Hayatou did not take part in the vote.
During
the period of suspension, FECAFOOT may not be represented in any
regional, continental or international competitions, including at club
level, or in friendly matches. In addition, neither FECAFOOT nor any of
its members or officials may benefit from any FIFA or CAF development
programmes, courses or training during the suspension period."
