The Minister of Sports and Physical Education, Narcisse Mouelle Kombi, has finally congratulated Cameroonian defender Harold Moukoudi for winning the Greek Championship with AEK Athens. This reaction comes after several days of criticism regarding the lack of an official congratulatory message following Moukoudi's victory, a situation that had sparked questions and comments on social media.
On May 28, 2026, the minister published a message on the ministry's Facebook page, praising the performance of the Indomitable Lion: "Congratulations to Harold MOUKOUDI, Indomitable Lion of football, Greek Champion this season with his club AEK Athens. A performance that honors the 'Fighting Spirit' as well as the Cameroonian 'Lion Spirit'!".
This statement aims to appease the criticism that has emerged in recent days, where many internet users have expressed their disappointment with the ministry's initial silence. However, some supporters are also awaiting similar recognition for other Cameroonian players who have shone this season, such as Christopher Wooh, champion of Russia with Spartak Moscow, and Che Malone, who won the CAF Confederation Cup and the Algerian championship with USM Alger.
Harold Moukoudi, 28, joined AEK Athens in 2022. He has established himself as a pillar of the Greek club's defense, winning his second Greek league title after the 2022-2023 season. He also won the Greek Cup in 2023, completing the double.
Christopher Wooh, a 24-year-old defender, had a successful season with Spartak Moscow, winning the Russian championship. Che Malone, 27, also shone with USM Alger, winning the CAF Confederation Cup and the Algerian championship. These individual performances highlight the presence and success of Cameroonian players in various leagues around the world.
Attention is now turning to the recognition of all Cameroonian talents, whether they play at home or abroad, in order to celebrate Cameroon's sporting excellence as a whole.
