On Thursday, Samuel Eto’o, President of FECAFOOT, and Mitwa N’GAMBI, General Manager of MTN Cameroon, signed a partnership contract renewed for two years. This collaboration aims to strengthen the development of professional football and sports infrastructure in Cameroon.
In a ceremony held at the headquarters of MTN Cameroon in Douala, the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) and MTN marked a new stage in their cooperation. This union, which began more than two decades ago, was renewed for a period of two years.

A common vision for professionalism
The renewed partnership covers several strategic areas, including sponsorship of the MTN Elite One and MTN Elite Two Professional Championships, as well as the Cameroon Cup. Flagship events such as the Cameroon Ballon d’Or or the Champions Trophy will also benefit from this support. The main objective is to develop Cameroonian football towards a more professional and attractive model.
