FECAFOOT Shake-Up: Mbigha Felix Resigns as 4th Vice President

In a surprising move, Mbigha Felix has stepped down from his position as the 4th Vice President of the Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT), citing personal reasons. In his resignation letter, Felix expressed gratitude to the FA president for their collaboration over the past two years.

Following Felix’s departure, speculation has emerged about a potential replacement. Neba Henry, the boss of Options Sports Academy, is being considered for the role. If confirmed, Henry would become the third person to hold the position, after Njalla Quan Junior and Mbigha Felix. However, it’s unclear whether Henry would assume the role immediately or wait for the electoral process to unfold.

This development comes against the backdrop of a previous agreement to have an Anglophone football stakeholder take on a key role, specifically as 1st or 2nd Vice President. Unfortunately, this agreement fell through after the December 11, 2021, Elections. Since then, the position of 4th Vice President has been marred by internal conflicts, earning it the reputation of being more of a “curse” than a blessing.

The resignation of Mbigha Felix and the potential appointment of Neba Henry raise questions about the future direction of FECAFOOT. Will Henry’s appointment bring stability to the organization, or will it exacerbate existing tensions? As the football community waits with bated breath, one thing is certain: the decisions made in the coming weeks will have a significant impact on the future of Cameroonian football.
