Cameroon’s New Kit Deal with Fourteen Sparks Doubts and Expectations

The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon's new equipment supplier, Fourteen, is being investigated. After striking an unexpected agreement with the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot), the Swiss brand—which was previously mostly unknown in elite football—is now in the public eye.

Fourteen was established in Geneva in 2011 and focuses more on polo, padel, basketball, and tennis than football. Andrea Picciau, the company's founder, acknowledged being taken aback by the deal. "All of our efforts are now acknowledged globally," he told AFP.

Many Cameroonian supporters are still not satisfied, despite Fecafoot's insistence that the selection process was "professional and objective." This mistrust is a result of previous problems with kit vendors. Due to a legal battle, Fecafoot discontinued Le Coq Sportif in 2022 and replaced it with One All Sport, a brand whose legitimacy was immediately called into question.

Fourteen Tries to Reassure

Aware of the doubts, Fourteen promises to deliver high-quality kits that will make fans proud. “The supporters will appreciate the result. Our top priority is to make players and the population proud,” said Picciau. The new jerseys, described as bold and innovative, will be unveiled in March.

Cameroon’s first match wearing Fourteen gear is scheduled for March 17 against Eswatini in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
