Poverty Culture: Father of Marc-Vivien Foé, accuses the late footballer’s wife of killing his son 0
The dad of late Marc-Vivien Foé was the guest on the TV program “Décryptage” on Friday, July 1, 2022 aired on Vision4 to mark the 19th anniversary of the death of his son, who died on June 26, 2003 at the Gerland stadium in Lyon during the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup against Colombia.
19 years later, the late footballer’s dad, Martin Amougou Foe is still refusing the scientific thesis made public by FIFA medics on the passing of his son and continues to blame the late Foe’s wife, Marie-Louie Foe, of having killed his son.
Speaking on Vision4, Papa Amougou said his son was “poisoned” by his wife through a meal on the eve of the match against Colombia.
“Marc told me that after the game he will divorce her. I swear, God is my witness (…) At midnight, his wife brought him food at the hotel (…) It wasn’t Marc who could be killed like that. When Marc ate he started to vomit and had diarrhea, so we went to call the doctor, who worked all night to treat Marc“, revealed Marc-Vivien’s dad during the TV conversation.
He also did accuse his former daughter-in-law of infidelity towards his son.

Fecafoot terminates deal with Le Coq Sportif 0
The Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) announced it has terminated its contract with French sportswear manufacturer Le Coq Sportif. In a June 24 statement, Blaise Djounang, the acting Secretary-General of Fecafoot, said the decision will take effect right after the 2022 Women AfCON. That is July 23, 2022.
He did not explain the reasons behind the decision but the statement hints at non-compliance with commitments by the equipment manufacturer. “The president of Fecafoot plans to explore new collaboration opportunities with an equipment manufacturer that respects its commitments and is proud to join its image with the label of the national football teams of Cameroon,” the statement reads.
The new Fecafoot-Le Coq Sportif deal was signed on June 7, 2019, in Montpellier and was expected to last until 2023. But the collaboration has stalled since the signing and the Minister of Sports, Narcisse Mouelle Kombi, asked for explanations from Fecafoot in October 2019. Narcisse Mouelle Kombi said he noted a real deficit in the quantity of equipment and sports kits made available to the national teams during some major international sports competitions.
