Schafer reports Cameroon to Fifa (22.04.2005)
By Martin Etonge
BBC Sport, Yaounde
Former Cameroon coach Winfried Schafer has reported the African nation to Fifa for owing him a debt of around US$330,000.
The German`s contract was scheduled to expire in July 2006 but he was dismissed by Cameroon`s football federation (Fecafoot) last November following some disappointing results.
Nearly half of the money Schafer is claiming, around $150,000, represents over six months of salary arrears. The rest is for wrongful termination of contract.
Fecafoot has acknowledged the salary arrears but intends to contest the damages for early termination of Schafer`s contract, which has been put at some $180,000.
"We have already written to Fifa showing proof that the Ministry of Sport is going to pay the
money," Fecafoot`s secretary general Atangana Mballa told BBC Sport.
In Cameroon, the Ministry of Sport recruits and pays the salaries of the Indomitable Lions` coaches.
Officials say the paperwork concerning the back-pay owed to Schafer has already been sent to the Ministry of Finance, which is expected to make the payment soon.
Schafer took charge of Cameroon in September 2001 and promptly led the team to glory in the following year`s Cup of Nations in Mali.
But the Indomitable Lions` performances dropped after the 2002 World Cup, where they failed to get past the group stages.
Cameroon were eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 2004 Nations Cup, and were placed third in Group Three of 2006 World Cup and Nations Cup qualifying when Schafer was sacked.
