Benjamin Pondy, the Marketing and Communications Director of the Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT), has resigned from his position. The news was confirmed in a statement released by FECAFOOT Secretary General Isaac Mendong on January 31st, 2025.

While the official statement did not provide specific reasons for Pondy’s departure, it is understood that he submitted his resignation on the same day. The timing of his resignation is particularly intriguing, as the federation is currently in the process of securing a new kit supplier for the Indomitable Lions national team.

In a message to his colleagues, Pondy expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to work at FECAFOOT but did not elaborate on the reasons behind his decision. He emphasized the importance of the federation’s mission and wished his colleagues continued success.

The sudden departure of Benjamin Pondy has raised eyebrows within the Cameroonian football community, with many speculating about the reasons behind his decision. Some have suggested that the ongoing challenges faced by FECAFOOT, such as financial difficulties and the search for a new kit supplier, may have played a role.

Pondy’s resignation is the latest in a series of high-profile departures from FECAFOOT in recent months. The organization has faced criticism for its financial management and governance, and the departure of key personnel has only served to fuel these concerns.

As FECAFOOT seeks to move forward, the departure of Pondy will undoubtedly leave a void in the organization. The federation will need to find a suitable replacement to oversee its marketing and communication efforts and restore confidence among its stakeholders.
