- The Cameroon Football Federation has implemented a new revenue distribution model that ensures clubs receive immediate payments after matches
- Home teams get to keep the lion share for games scheduled on their home ground
The Cameroon Football Federation has unveiled a new revenue distribution model aimed at quelling ongoing disputes among clubs.
Effective immediately, clubs will now receive payments right after matches, a move that promises to streamline financial operations within the league. This shift comes after prolonged negotiations that highlighted the need for a more equitable system.
Under the new framework, if a match is played in the home club’s stadium, the home side will pocket 70% of the gate receipts, with 23% allocated to the Transitional Council of Professional Football (CTFP), 5% to the local municipality, and 2% to the public treasury.
Conversely, when games occur in stadiums rented by Fecafoot, the hosting club will receive only 23%, while Fecafoot takes a substantial 70%. This strategic allocation aims to incentivize clubs to enhance their matchday experiences and drive attendance.
The recent changes to the revenue distribution model in Cameroon’s football league are set to empower clubs with better management of their finances and greater control over matchday gate receipts.
As per Kick442 Observation, This shift is expected to influence ticket pricing strategies, allowing clubs to potentially adjust prices in line with their financial needs and market demand.
On Wednesday, fans flocked to the stadium for the second match of the day between Union Sportive and Coton Sport. However, they were discontented to pay the standard gate fee of 2,000 CFA francs, especially when many believe the true value of attending a game should be around 1,000 CFA francs. This dissatisfaction highlights the delicate balance clubs must strike between revenue generation and fan engagement.
Additionally, there were logistical challenges as journalists found themselves barred from entering the stadium. Stadium officials indicated that an agreement between clubs and Fecafoot limited press access to make room for more supporters.
These developments illustrate the complexities surrounding the new revenue-sharing model and its immediate impacts on both clubs and fans.
With all these established, the focus now shifts to how clubs will adapt to these changes and leverage their newfound financial stability to elevate their performances in both domestic and continental competitions.
