While awaiting FECAFOOT\u2019s decision, the club says its own findings, conducted through a bailiff\u2019s inquiry, convinced officials that the match was rigged, citing video evidence they believe proves the accused players were involved in match-fixing.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the report states:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI, Ma\u00eetre SOP FONKOUA BLANDINE, observed that, of all the goals conceded, captain Laurian Nguefack Nguedia showed no frustration at conceding a goal, nor did he motivate his teammates to do better. Continuing my investigation, I invited the players involved to identify themselves on the video. Players Gifranck Sterly Peto, Brayann Tchaha Nana, and Laurian Nguefack Nguedia identified themselves on the footage. However, goalkeeper Jason Brayan Mouele Yomi and Carl Osogo Eyong refused to identify themselves, even when the president called upon them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report further added:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn light of the facts observed during this match against Aigle Royal de la Menoua, corresponding to Matchday 18, it is evident that the players in question corrupted their performances by engaging in a form of public theatrics to the detriment of their club, resulting in the known outcome of the match. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the Chamber to analyze the said video and draw any conclusions it deems appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through the bailiff\u2019s findings, the club has also ordered the accused players \u2014 Nguefack Laurian, Bryann Tchana Nana, Osogo Carl Eyong, Agbor Meldin Ashu, Sterly Peto, and Mouelle Yobi Jason \u2014 to each pay a fine of 1,000,000 FCFA in damages.<\/p>\n<p>The Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) has since summoned the dismissed players for hearings as part of its ongoing investigation into the allegations. The federation\u2019s litigation commission is expected to question the players over claims that they deliberately underperformed and allowed the opposition to win, following the club\u2019s review of footage from the match.<\/p>\n<p>According to information obtained by Kick442.com, the players only received their convocations on the afternoon of Tuesday, May 26, requesting their presence in Yaound\u00e9 for hearings scheduled at 1 p.m. the following day. Sources indicate that several players may be unable to attend due to the short notice and could instead be represented by delegates.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time Victoria United has faced scrutiny. Last season, a voice note allegedly recorded by a former player claimed the club paid referees to influence matches, allegations that reportedly led to the player\u2019s dismissal at the time. In the space of two seasons, the club has now dismissed nine players over similar accusations.<\/p>\n<p>For now, no concrete evidence has been publicly presented to directly implicate the players. However, FECAFOOT says investigations remain ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria United currently sits ninth on the unofficial league table with 27 points.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Awambeng Fuh Journalist,kick442.com-Cameroon Cameroon Elite One club Victoria United FC has, through a&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":28634,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[218,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cameroon-football","category-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 -
