Cameroon Pro-League Kicks-off January 9

The 2015/2016 Cameroon Professional Football League would commence on January 9, 2016.

                The League, which was initially scheduled to begin in November 2015, was postponed after an extraordinary General Assembly, of the Cameroon Football Federation, FECAFOOT. During the General Assembly, it was resolved that League I will start on January 9, 2016, and League II a week after.

                The prolongation of the commencement date was to enable teams to better prepare and also for the National Interpools Championship to take place. The National Interpools Championship that was initially scheduled for November 25, 2015, failed to take place.

                There were equally reports that 20 teams would participate in this year’s Pro-league – which many soccer pundits have interpreted as a ploy by football godfathers to reintegrate relegated Tonnerre of Yaounde into the League.

                FECAFOOT is yet to decide on the number of teams that would take part in this year’s Championship.
