Cameroon derby loses its shine (29.08.2004)
Cameroon`s biggest domestic fixture between Yaounde`s arch-rivals Canon and Tonnerre takes place on Sunday but the usual fireworks are not expected.
In years gone by, this clash would have been a top-of-the-table affair and possibly a title decider but this year, the old foes are near the bottom of Cameroon`s eight-team Super League.
Canon are third from bottom with just three points from three draws in their six games so far, and have failed to score a single goal in their campaign.
Tonerre have fared even worse and are a point behind with just two draws in their matches to date.
The drop in form means that there is no longer the media hype that once surrounded the game and this is reflected by the fan`s lack of interest.
Both clubs once produced some of the biggest names in Cameroonian football: indeed the African Footballer of the Century, Roger Milla, played for Tonnerre.
Meanwhile Canon can boast such names as Emmanuel Kunde, Jean-Manga Onguene and Theophile Abega, who is now the club`s general manager.
Even though the two clubs that dominated Cameroonian football throughout the 70`s and 80`s they have lost their grip on the local scene over the last 15 years.
The Yaounde derby fails to attract the big crowds it used to
Financial problems and poor management have seen Canon win just one league title in the last ten years
while Tonnerre`s best finish since 1988 was as runners-up in 2001.
Canon were also once a dominant force throughout Africa, lifting the continental title three times in the 1970`s, while Tonerre claimed the Cup Winners` Cup in 1975.
Since then, Canon`s best effort on the continent was losing in the final of the Cup Winners` Cup in 2000, while Tonerre have only managed to finish as runners-up in the Caf Cup in 2002.
In recent months, Canon`s fortunes have taken a furter blow with Abega being banned from football matches in Cameroon by the country`s football federation Fecafoot.
In the past, Abega has been accused of poor management that has seen rich supporters refusing to bankroll the club.
These financial problems mean that Canon face a shortage of quality players.
Similarly, Tonnerre`s president Antoine Essomba is said to have scared away many of the club`s leading backers and is blamed for the exodus of players, especially to Asia.
All these problems mean that the fans are also turning their backs on the derby clashes between the two sides.
In the 1970`s and 80`s, it was not uncommon for up to 80,000 fans to cram themselves into the 51,000-capacity Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium in Yaounde for a derby game.
Special security arrangements used to be in place for the derby, but even the police no longer see the need for such measures.
