- Yong Sports Academy (YOSA) players donned black bandages over their mouths before their match against Colombe Sportive as a silent protest against the deduction of three points from their general classification by FECAFOOT’s homologation and disciplinary commission
- The punitive action, which included suspensions and a hefty fine, was met with disappointment by the players, who viewed it as unjust
- Fans echoed the team’s sentiment, displaying placards accusing FECAFOOT of discrimination and corruption, as YOSA’s championship aspirations were jeopardized by the decision
In a striking display of dissent, players from Yong Sports Academy (YOSA) took to the pitch with black bandages across their mouths during their clash with Colombe Sportive.
This silent protest was in response to the recent decision by FECAFOOT’s homologation and disciplinary commission to dock the team three points following allegations of misconduct toward match officials.
The Bamenda-based team, which stood on the cusp of championship glory, was also hit with suspensions of key personnel, including coach Ndikum Blaise, and a substantial fine of one million FCFA.
The players’ choice to wear black wraps was a powerful gesture of unity and a public display of their collective grievance over what they deemed an unfair ruling.
Their message of discontent was mirrored in the stands, where fans brandished placards with bold statements accusing FECAFOOT of discrimination, injustice, and corruption.
This act of protest came at a critical juncture for YOSA, who were previously just one victory away from securing the Cameroonian championship title.
YOSA finished the championship in the sixth place with eight points after losing three points and nine players to various litigation decisions.
