Journalist kick442.com – Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200bA total prize pool of over 1.6 million FCFA: this is the exceptional jackpot that the Cameroon Chess Federation (FECADE) is putting on the line to officially launch its 2026 sports season. For this grand return to the national chessboard, scheduled for this Saturday, May 30, 2026, at the Yaound\u00e9 Multipurpose Sports Complex (PAPOSY), the federation has pulled out all the stops with particularly attractive financial rewards.<\/p>\n

\u200bIn the flagship Open Mixte (Mixed Open) category, competitors will battle for a total purse of 860,000 FCFA. Women are also in the spotlight with a dedicated allocation of 300,000 FCFA for the Open F\u00e9minin (Women’s Open), a strong initiative aimed at encouraging female participation in the discipline across Cameroon. Finally, young talents in the U17 category and the Veterans are not left out, with packages of 225,000 FCFA reserved for each of these categories. Thanks to the backing of major partners such as telecom giant MTN and the Port Authority of Douala (PAD), registration for this major event is entirely free for all licensed FECADE players.<\/p>\n
