FIFA WOMEN'S WORLD CUP 2015: The Usual Match Bonus Crisis





It is no news for any Cameroonian sporting delegation to be denied of their deserving benefits by either the government or some top ranking government official. Its like a tradition and even in the just ended 2014 world cup in Brazil same thing happened with the lions and today it is the turn of their female compatriot. All I want to know is who allocate theses bonus and who is appointed to hand them to those players. I believe the ministry of sport and FECAFOOT has workers who earn monthly salaries and if that salary is tempted with even just once a month it causes turbulence within the ministry so why can’t they not act responsibly when comes to people who go to represent out nation. It’s not like the money is been taking off their salary. A report by "Le Jour" News paper back home reported that the players have been on strike since the 26th of May and have promised to boycott their first match against Ecuador if their bonus is not being paid. But on Thursdays they called of their strike actions as they have been to receive 15million frs CFA which is half of what they were asking before their match on Monday.
It is also important to note that the kick off of the female football world cup will take place on Saturday the 6th In Canada and also for this years’ tournament the has been an increase in the number of teams from 16 to 24 and consequently an increase in the number of matches from 24 to 32 matches.
Even though have high hopes with my national team be it the male or female squad, I am still patiently waiting for that special day when we will bring the trophy back home. Type of dreams Cameroonians always have.
