Following complaints from Tunisia concerning the eligibility of Joel Matip and Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting, Cameroon football federation secretary general Tombi Roko Sidiki has hit back, saying Tunisian officials are ignorant of Cameroonian nationality laws.
“Tunisia are making a mistake. They did not examine our nationality laws before lodging compliant to Fifa,” Sidiki said.
“Cameroonians by birth can never lose their nationality. The two players in question are Cameroonians by birth because they were born each to a Cameroonian parent. The laws of our land say all persons born of a Cameroonian parent are automatically Cameroonians.
“The two players are Cameroonians because their fathers are Cameroonians. Have you ever seen a German called Choupo Moting or Matip Job,” he said.
Tunisia lost the World Cup playoff return leg to Cameroon 4-1 but officials from the north African country are contesting the naturalisation method used to include Matip and Choupo-Moting in the squad.
Fifa asked Cameroon FA to provide the administrative documents of the two players within 48 hours, and will announce a verdict on November 28.
