THE Warriors Group J rivals for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers Cameroon are in dire straits with the squad called up for matches against Namibia and Zimbabwe yet to report for training.
An Under 20 side has been put on standby and could play against the Zimbabwe national football team in September.
Cameroon are scheduled to take on Namibia on Friday in their first match of the campaign.
The country's Federation led by legend Samuel Eto' reported the unrest in the camp via a statement.
"People with malicious intentions have taken advantage of the resources of the State to put on a disgraceful show for the whole world, tarnishing the image of our country and exposing the players to the sanctions provided for in the Players’ Statutes and Transfer Regulations," the statement reads.
“The instigators of these punishable acts in the course of the two aforementioned matches will be held accountable and will sooner or later assume full responsibility for all the damage they have done to our country."
The federation has demanded that the players report for camp on Wednesday morning in Doula.
“It should be clearly understood that the 24 players duly summoned by the national coach are expected to arrive no later than 8 a.m on September 4.

“Failure to comply with this requirement, will result in FECAFOOT taking all its responsibilities without hesitation," said the body.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe will face Kenya first in Uganda on Friday before they host Cameroon at the same venue since they do not have a Caf certified stadium in the country.
