Tiko United, the Invincible (24.10.2007)
The representative of the South West Province was the only unbeaten team during the interpool tournament in Ebolowa.
Drawn in pool B where no one expected them to go anywhere, Tiko United, alias “Samba boys” defied all forecasts and sailed through the competition unbeaten with ten points. The Samba boys announced their intentions right from the first day of the competition. Playing the second match of the day against Dynamic of Ngaoundere, Tiko United brought live to the Nko’ovos municipal stadium with their energetic and elaborate play-style. The 2-1 victory that followed was acclaimed by the public as well merited.
Tiko United returned to the field of action on the third day of play after standing-by on the second day, with the same zeal to win. They beat Diable Rouge of Maroua to obtain six points on six. On the fourth day of play, the “Samba boys” needed a victory against Achille Yaounde to directly qualify for the first

Division. But Achille FC which was playing a do or die match, turned out to be a hard nut to crack. After the clash, the team from the South West Province was able to obtain a draw. Qualification for the first Division was therefore deferred to the 4th and last day of play, in a fratricidal battle against their brothers from West of the Mongo, Yong Sports. Though a mere draw would have sufficed, Tiko United came from a goal deficit in the first half to score two goals and carry the day.
Qualification for the first division is not the end of the road for Tiko United, in the words of the club president, Eteki Charles Dikongue. “Training resumes ten days after the competition”, he said. The President, who says he wanted to use football to promote religion, dedicates his victory to the Almighty. The gala match against Unisports of Bafang, another team in good shape, is going to be fireworks as both teams will be out to obtain a victory.
