The world football body have opened
disciplinary proceedings against the African
nation after their behaviour against England
Fifa has opened disciplinary proceedings
against the Cameroon Football Association
(Fecafoot) relating to players' behaviour and
misconduct during their Women's World Cup
clash with England.
Phil Neville's ladies secured a 3-0 win to seal a
quarterfinal date with Norway, but the victory
was overshadowed by the Central Africans'
on-field protests against a number of VAR
calls.
In a series of controversies, the Indomitable
Lionesses had threatened to quit the game
Augustine Ejangue spat on Toni Duggan and
Alexandra Takounda dismissible tackle on
Steph Houghton.
Regretting her inactions, Ejangue took to her
official Instagram page to post her apology to
Duggan, claiming she did not mean any harm
against the Barcelona star on Wednesday.
However, soon after, Fifa confirmed that
disciplinary proceedings have been opened,
but could not comment further on the matter.
"Following the Round of 16 match between
Cameroon and England on the 23th June at
the Fifa Womens World Cup, we can
confirmed that proceedings have now been
opened by the Fifa Disciplinary Committee
against the Cameroon Football Associationfor
alleged breaches related to article 52 [team
misconduct] and article 57 [offensive
behaviour and fair play] of the Fifa disciplinary
code," Fifa confirmed in a statement.
"As proceedings are now ongoing, please
understand that no further comment can be
made at this stage. Further updates will be
provided in due course."
The development could see the African nation
facing a fine for the actions of their players.
