FECAFOOT's clauses of electoral process contradictory

Amidst a lot of issues spiralling around FECAFOOT elections, some clauses in the FECAFOOT's texts for electoral process have been found to be conflicting.

Article 78 of order sports litigation, arbitration and mediation of the statutes of the Fecafoot provides in paragraph 2 that "in case of exhaustion of remedies in the Federation and in accordance with article 58, paragraph 2 of Act No. 2011/018 of July 15, 2011 on the Organization and promotion of physical and sporting activities', the decisions of the Commission of appeal, of the National Chamber of Resolution of disputes and the Electoral Commission of appeal can be appealed in last spring at the national level either before the Board of Conciliation and arbitration established with the National Olympic Committee and sports of Cameroon if the parties give their consent, or in the TAF.


For his part, paragraph 3 adds that, "the decisions of the Arbitral Tribunal of the Football and the room for reconciliation and arbitration cannot be subject to recourse to the Sport Arbitral Tribunal in Lausanne, Switzerland."

This provisions which gives room for conciliation and arbitration of the national Committee of Olympic and sports of Cameroon, are contrary to section 44 of the Act on the promotion of the sport which specifies that "in case of exhaustion of internal remedies to the federation, one of the parties may, in last spring at the national level, enter the Board of Conciliation and arbitration established with the National Olympic Committee and sports of Cameroon."
