Cameroon Stars Reject FECAFOOT's Vehicles Upon Arrival In Yaoundé

A mild drama unfolded at the Yaoundé Nsimalen International Airport as three of Cameroon’s top stars, Vincent Aboubakar, André Onana, and Carlos Baleba, reportedly refused to board the official vehicles provided by the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT), BSNSports.com.ng reports.

According to local reports, the Indomitable Lions arrived in Yaoundé before their international engagements, but tension rose when some players declined to use the transportation arranged by the federation.

The vehicles in question were part of FECAFOOT’s partnership deal with Sky Motors, a local automobile brand tasked with handling the team’s mobility logistics.

Captain Vincent Aboubakar, goalkeeper André Onana, and midfielder Carlos Baleba were the most notable players said to have rejected the arrangement, opting instead to use alternative transportation.

The act has fueled speculations of lingering discontent within the national team setup, particularly around issues of sponsorship deals and player treatment.

FECAFOOT has yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident, but sources close to the team suggest the players’ refusal may be linked to concerns over comfort, branding, or a lack of prior consultation.

The development adds another layer of drama to Cameroon’s preparations for their upcoming fixtures, with fans closely watching how the federation will handle the situation and whether it could affect team unity.
