- Following their demotion, Rangers FC of Bafut has composed a profound reflection on the governance of football in Cameroon, expressing their disapproval and concerns
- As one of the second-tier teams relegated to regional play, they have issued a comprehensive statement detailing the trials and tribulations they endured during their tenure in Elite Two
- The club’s narrative sheds light on the systemic issues and personal struggles faced within the nation’s football management structure
In the wake of their relegation, Rangers FC of Bafut has issued a poignant press release that serves as both a reflection on their journey and a critique of the football management system in Cameroon, particularly at the Elite 2 championship.
The club began with noble intentions, aiming to honor their region through football and provide an alternative path for youths to contribute to nation-building.
Despite the overwhelming support from fans and the community, Rangers FC Bafut faced significant challenges, not least of which was the alleged mismanagement and unfair treatment by the football authorities, including FECAFOOT.
The press release outlines a three-year struggle within a system that lacked fairness and support, where the club encountered “wicked and unjust men” whose actions seemed intent on frustrating their efforts.
Rangers FC Bafut describes itself as the first to blow the whistle on FECAFOOT’s improper management, advocating for change with the goal of preserving a legacy rather than destroying it. However, this stance seemingly positioned them as a threat to those benefiting from the status quo, leading to what the club perceives as targeted and unjust actions against them.
The club’s statement details incidents of discrimination and corruption, such as referees allegedly receiving bribes and instructions to ensure negative outcomes for Rangers FC Bafut. It also highlights the concealment of official match postings and the promotion of a referee accused of unjust actions, despite video evidence presented by the club.
Despite these adversities, Rangers FC Bafut remains committed to its values of fairness, truth, and integrity. The club’s representative, while acknowledging the inhuman treatment they have faced, invokes an African adage to illustrate their resilience and belief in the eventual revelation of truth.
The press release ends with a call to fellow club presidents to maintain integrity and continue striving for the growth of football, emphasizing that the downfall of Rangers FC Bafut should not be seen as the end of consciousness or a victory for those who have opposed them.
Rangers FC gained promotion into Cameroon’s second tier championship back in 2021. The team through out the years managed to maintain it’s elite status with the help of some of its formidable players.
The mass exodus of some to different clubs across the country greatly affected the teams results this year leading to their demotion into the regional league.
