Disciplinary Committee imposes sporting and financial sanctions on Cameroon
Zurich, 16 April 2004 - Meeting today at FIFA headquarters under the chairmanship of Marcel Mathier (Switzerland), the FIFA Disciplinary Committee fined the Cameroon football association CHF 200,000 and deducted six points from its national team in the preliminary competition for the 2006 FIFA World Cup?.
The punishment was imposed as a result of Cameroon?s failure to comply with the equipment requirements of Law 4 of the Laws of the Game during the African Cup of Nations 2004 in Tunisia. FIFA had shown leniency at the time for Cameroon?s attire in the group round of the competition after the association had given assurances that the team would wear authorised playing kit in the knock-out phases.
Despite this agreement, Cameroon subsequently wore the same equipment in the quarter-finals.
The Disciplinary Committee opened an inquiry on 13 February 2004 in order to rule on this serious infringement of the Laws of the Game and the association?s failure to fulfil the pledge made to FIFA.

Fifa hits Cameroon hopes
Cameroon's hopes of qualifying for the 2006 World Cup have been hit after Fifa docked them six points for their one-piece kit in the African Cup of Nations.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the Fifa Disciplinary Committee at their headquarters in Zurich on Friday.
A Fifa statement said that the Cameroon kit represented a "serious infringement of the Laws of the Game".
After Cameroon used the one-piece kit for the start of the Nations Cup competition Fifa ordered them to have a different outfit for the quarter-finals.
But when they ran out in the same gear for their last-eight tie with Nigeria Fifa warned them they would face sanctions.
The Fifa statement added: "Fifa had shown leniency at the time for Cameroon's attire in the group round of the competition after the association had given assurances that the team would wear authorised playing kit in the knock-out phases.
"Despite this agreement, Cameroon subsequently wore the same equipment in the quarter-finals.
"The Disciplinary Committee opened an inquiry on 13 February, 2004 in order to rule on this serious infringement of the Laws of the Game and the association's failure to fulfil the pledge made to Fifa."
Cameroon begin their World Cup qualifying campaign in African Group Three along with Egypt, Ivory Coast, Libya, Sudan and Benin.
