PWD Bamenda crowned champs of elite I as Cameroon's domestic championships abandoned.

PWD Bamenda crowned champs of elite I as Cameroon's domestic championships abandoned.

PWD Bamenda have been crowned champions of Cameroon’s elite 1 League after FECAFOOT, the football-governing body suspended the three national championships run by the Cameroon Transitional Technical Committee, CTT, and the Cameroon women’s football league, LFFC on its mandate.

The top-flight Championship was abandoned after at least 28 games [just six games left] for all clubs involved while in the second tier Championship 23 of the 26 games had been played.

The decision was announced on Tuesday after many hours of consultative talks between members of the government of Cameroon and officials of FECAFOOT.

The CTT and LFFC resolved to name PWD Social Club of Bamenda, Astres of Douala, Louves Minprof of Yaounde as champions of the Elite One, Two and Women’s championships, respectively.

The decision equally states that Astres and YAFOOT FC will be promoted to the top-flight while no club will be relegated leaving the top-flight competition with 20 clubs next term and the second tier competition with 12 clubs as no club will be promoted from the Regional Championships which have been abandoned.

In the women’s championship, no club will be relegated from the topflight championship.

The federation has decided that the top-two clubs [PWD of Bamenda and Cotonsport of Garoua] in the top-flight Championship will represent the country in the CAF Champions League and Confederation cup, respectively.

Champions for the first time in 54 years, PWD will represent the country in the CAF Champions League while runners up Cotonsport of Garoua will represent the country in the CAF Confederation Cup for the 2020/2021 season.

This comes eight weeks after the Championships were halted following the outbreak of the CoronaVirus pandemic in Cameroon.

Cameroon joins the likes of Mauritius Island, Guinea, Kenya, Ethiopia and Burkina Faso who have officially abandoned their domestic championship for this football season.
