Cameroon settle World Cup pay dispute

Cameroon’s players are finally on their way to the World Cup after initially refusing to board a flight to Brazil because of a dispute over bonuses.
The squad, including former Chelsea striker Samuel Eto’o, refused to fly to South America yesterday morning.
But they eventually agreed a financial package with the nation’s football federation after an emergency meeting.
Team coach Volker Finke had said players were complaining that the £61,000 they were due to be paid for figuring in the World Cup was not enough.

After agreeing an end to the row, Cameroon Football Federation president Joseph Owona said: “Everything has been resolved.

“We have opted for transparency. There is no problem and I think the team needs to be mobilised for all to look in one direction.”
Cameroon are in Group A with the hosts, Croatia and Mexico. — Online
