At the same time, the Minister of State, Secretary-General of the Presidency of the Republic, has requested the Minister of Sports and Physical Education, who oversees affairs of the FECAFOOT, to submit a report to the Presidency on consultations with Cameroonian football stakeholders regarding this subsidy.
