🇨🇲 Cameroon increased Africa’s World Cup slots from two to five.
The football world still in shock from CAF’s scandal—overturning Senegal’s hard-earned victory over Morocco after a staggering 50 days. Such chaos invites a simple question: would this have happened under Issa Hayatou, the legendary Cameroonian who led CAF for 29 years?
Hayatou didn’t just hold the presidency; he elevated African football. He expanded the Africa Cup of Nations and grew CAF’s reserves from $1.25 million to over $130 million—bringing the continent global attention and respect. His leadership was synonymous with stability.
Now, barely two years after his departure, we witness this fiasco. It proves that true football excellence isn’t only on the pitch— While Cameroon was the first African Country to call global attention to African football increased Africa’s World Cup slots from two to five, it is also managing resources, matches, and integrity.
Cameroon remains Africa’s finest all-round football nation: champions in play, unmatched in governance.
