Footbal League 2: Three Seats For Five

The battle for ascension to League 1 is rife with Racing, Aigle, Eding, Feutcheu and Matelots.

With barely five days of play to go to the end of the season, the battle for ascension to League 1 has intensified in the League 2 championship where five teams are running neck to neck at the helm of the classification table.  As it stands, Racing of Bafoussam is leading with 52 points after 28 matches but with two advanced matches ahead of the others.

However, Aigle of Menoua stands a chance of not only catching up with the league leaders but also overtaking Racing as they have two delayed matches in hand. Aigle Menoua alias El Pacha occupy the runner up position with 49 points after 26 matches. Eding Sport in the third position with 47 points is not left out of the contention for ascension to the first division. Same as Feutheu FC in the fourth position with 44 points and AS Matelots in the fifth position with 41 points after 26 days of play.

While the top quintet jostle for points to accede to the elite championship, the battle is of another kind at the bottom of the table where Scorpion of Bé, Ngoketunja and A.S. Belabo struggle for survival in the League 2 championship. With Sable having gone bankrupt and withdrawing from the competition, only two teams will therefore be relegated to the inferior regional league to make way for the three clubs to ascend to League 2.  Scorpion is the Benjamin of the championship with 17 points only after 27 days of play. Ngoketundja and AS Belabo in the 15th and 16th positions respectively, have 24 points and are only separated by goal difference. Both teams will therefore be involved in a distant duel till the end of the season.

As teams battle for promotion and survival the spectre of match fixing looms over the championship. Already, there are rumours of match fixing as clubs in the middle of the table, sell matches to those at the top and the bottom since they are already certain to stay on in the League Two championship and not fighting for promotion or to avoid demotion. Others prefer to approach the men in black with envelops to influence the outcome of encounters in their favour. As the end of the season draws near, there is need for vigilance on the part to the Professional League to avoid corruption and match fixing given the stakes involved.
