The 2025-2026 season of the Cameroon Federation of Sports for the Visually Impaired (FECASDEV) ended in apotheosis this Friday with the finals of the Cameroon Goalball Cup.

The ceremony was chaired by Mr. Noumi Stéphane, representative of the Minister of Sports and Physical Education, alongside Mr. Oben Philip Apai of the Cameroon National Paralympic Committee (CNPC), Mr. Tsoungui Norbert, President of FECASDEV, Mr. Léopold Assiene Ndiomo, Head of Federal Division, Mr. Matip Olivier, FECASDEV Focal Point at MINSEP, and Mr. Etienne Didier Onana, Director of Training, Press, Publishing and International Cooperation of the National Association of the Blind of Cameroon (NABC), in the presence of many other guests.

I. WOMEN’S FINAL: IMPERIAL ABAKWA GIRLS

After the national anthem and a moving minute of silence in memory of AWA Patrick, former Promhandicam player who passed away, kick-off was given according to the ritual of the discipline: visor on the face, the personality in charge of the launch turns three times on herself before throwing the ball.

Line-ups:

  • Abakwa Girls of Bamenda (Dark green / black pants): Bellies, Louisa, Sandra
  • CISPAM of Bafoussam (All yellow): Yakoua Raissa, Metchoum Laeticia, Hassiatou Abdoulkadril, Djimoe Jessica Audrey.

The match: The girls from Bamenda start strong and score the first three goals.

Half-time: 09-03 for Abakwa Girls.

In the second half, Bellies, transfigured and motivated like a diesel engine in full heat, places unstoppable shots against her former teammates. The agility in the dives of Sandra and Louisa prevents any comeback attempt from CISPAM.

The fillies of President Fidelis Tancho, absent but supported by their male colleagues, keep up the pace.

Final score: 15-06. Well-deserved victory for a team that had only three players.

Abakwa Girls of Bamenda is crowned winner of the Cameroon Cup 2026.

II. MEN’S FINAL: MERCILESS PROMHANDICAM

Fixture: ACFISA of Douala (Littoral) vs Promhandicam Para Sport Club of Yaoundé (Centre)

Both teams enter the court in an atmosphere of defiance and chants that set the tone. You would think you were on an NBA floor or a rugby match.

Same ritual for kick-off.

Line-ups:

  • ACFISA Sport Academy of Douala: Abada Gervais, Kaljob Calis, Ebeguide Steve, Mbambeto Ousseni, Touague Cyrille, Momo Kevin.
  • Promhandicam Para Sport: Luc Yomby, Ndo Andeme Patrick, Menye Wilfried, Aymard Lindjeck, Ateba Kono.
  • Coach: Willy Djiepmo.

The match:
Luc Yomby opens the score with a powerful strike, doubles the lead, then Ndo Andeme Patrick converts a penalty. A 4th goal is added… It smells burnt for the boys from the banks of the Wouri.

Half-time: 11-01 for Promhandicam.
