Elite One & Two: MTN Returns On Eto’o’s Arrival

FECAFOOT and telecommunications company – MTN, have both reignited a new partnership deal.

Initially, the league signed a three-year contract with MTN: 2017, 2018 and 2019.

However, MTN confirmed that the amount of its subsidy of one billion FCFA over three years will be reduced in 2019, for a set of unspecified reasons, and there was a fallout, before the two parties parted ways.

The ceremony of MTN’s return was chaired by Samuel Eto’o, the new FECAFOOT boss, in the presence of MTN officials, including Stephen Blewett, CEO of MTN Cameroon and Ralph Mupita, CEO of the MTN Group. Both parties expressed their common desire to make this collaboration a resounding success.

Quotes gotten from FECAFOOT official shows readiness to work: “We want to see young players dreaming of being future Samuel Eto’o,” Mr Blewett said. On his part, Mr Mupita insisted that “the time is ideal” for MTN’s return.

“Cameroon today occupies a place of choice with beautiful stadiums, beautiful infrastructures, a new top management at FECAFOOT that know exactly what they want to do”, aired the MTN alpha.

The President of FECAFOOT, Samuel Eto’o, promised a successful organization of the Professional Championships. ” MTN officials and the president of FECAFOOT are men of challenge, we have a duty to organize the best championship in Africa,” said Samuel Eto’o, stressing that it is important that they show Africans that Cameroon knows how to do beautiful things
