We will present it to the public in due time", noted Pauline Manguele, Secretary General at LFPC.

"To prepare fully for all these activities, the search for funding, the evaluation of the agreements with partners is also added," indicated Pauline Manguele. Indeed, the funding of the competitions is one of the main difficulties mentioned by LFPC in the last season.
Meanwhile, the SG of the League has to make a tour to inspect the stadiums that could accommodate the various competitions. Thus, the stadium of Loum, Obala, Mfou, Mbalmayo, Djombé, Bertoua, Bafoussam, Buea were visited.
Indeed, the municipal stadium of Obala, according the LFPC, does have any characteristic to make it eligible to the Professional League and offers no viable prospect because of the smallness of the site development. As for the one of Loum, the work being done bode not the ability to make it functional in the season in preparation.
