FIFA Orders Cameroon To Pay Conceicao €1.3M In Compensation

FIFA Orders Cameroon To Pay Conceicao €1.3M In Compensatio

FIFA’s Football Tribunal has ordered Cameroon to pay former coach Toni Conceicao compensation of €1.3 million after sacking him following their third-place finish at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals.

Conceicao took his former employers to world football’s governing body seeking compensation after being removed from his job in March, weeks after the Indomitable Lions finished third at the tournament they hosted.

FIFA ordered the Cameroon Football Federation to pay about €1,350 000 to the 60-year-old Portuguese-born coach as compensation for a breach of contract without just cause and additional sums for outstanding salary and bonuses.

Former coaches Clarence Seedorf and Kluivert were compensated hugely for breaching their contracts while Hugo Broos also received over 100 million CFA francs when he was sacked as coach of the Indomitable Lions.

The same order was given to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) concerning Gernot Rohr after his appointment was terminated.

It remains to be seen how much the order meant to the country's football association.
