SCMP Reporter

CAMEROON'S sports minister has called a special congress of the national soccer federation to resolve a dispute threatening to exclude the 'Indomitable Lions' from international competition - starting with the 1996 African Nations' Cup.

Joseph Marie Bipoun said the congress would be held on October 30 and would elect a new Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) executive.

The International Football Federation, in a letter dated October 3, had threatened Cameroon with exclusion from all international competitions if such a congress were not held by October 31.

The dispute is over the minister's decision to sack FECAFOOT's old executive in June.
