{English club Crystal Palace have been offering to help out the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot).}<\/p>\n

The Premier League side’s chief executive Phillip Alexander has been speaking during a visit to the country.<\/p>\n

The club is hoping to help at national level and to use football to assist in communities as well.<\/p>\n

“It’s about helping the federation and ultimately for the national team to do well in the Africa Cup of Nations Cup and World Cup,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We want to show that as a football club we do things slightly differently and we are proud of that.<\/p>\n

“We want to engage with the federation to help in using best practices with performance staff, coaches, the communication team and marketing.<\/p>\n

“We can be a good partner as a small and growing club. If we play our part we can win the hearts and minds of so many Cameroonians who follow the Premier League and maybe get a player to Crystal Palace.”<\/p>\n

“We are part of the Premier League, the most successful league in the world, and every week hundreds of the population in Cameroon watch the games.”<\/p>\n

The meeting was also an opportunity for the Fecafoot President Tombi A Roko Sidiki to present his 11-point action plan aimed at changing the fortunes of the federation.<\/p>\n

One of his missions is aimed at developing the country’s infrastructure and his first plan is the construction of artificial pitches in seven regions of the country.<\/p>\n
