Written by SA · 11 Sept 2026, 06:45

A video has surfaced showing a Cameroonian international footballer, recently crowned African champion in Morocco in August 2026, in a compromising situation with another woman in an elevator. The video has sparked widespread outrage and debate in Cameroon, where homosexuality is punishable by law under Article 347-1 of the Penal Code, with sentences ranging from 6 months to 5 years in prison. The athlete's identity has not been officially confirmed, but she is reportedly a member of the national team and an ambassador for the brand Ange Hair & Beauty, which has since suspended its collaboration with her pending a full investigation of the facts. The incident has reignited tensions and discussions around the issue of homosexuality in Cameroon, with some calling for the athlete to be sanctioned and others defending her right to privacy. The Cameroonian Football Federation (Fecafoot) has yet to comment on the matter.
