Cameroon’s Women’s Football Revolution: Guinness Super League Unveils Bold Vision for Season 5

In a landmark moment for women’s football in Africa, the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) and Guinness Cameroon have launched the fifth season of the Guinness Super League (GSL) with unprecedented support and ambitious plans to establish it as the continent’s premier women’s football championship.

At a packed press conference held at the FECAFOOT headquarters, stakeholders unveiled a striking new league logo. They announced comprehensive support packages for participating clubs, signalling a renewed commitment to professionalizing women’s football in Cameroon. The championship is scheduled to kick off on November 30th.

“President Samuel Eto’o has made it his mission to transform the GSL into Africa’s leading women’s league,” announced Celine Eko, emphasizing the federation’s ambitious vision. This declaration comes at a crucial time, as the league’s success has already been validated by its significant contribution to Cameroon’s national team at the recent Women’s World Cup.

Guinness Cameroon’s Marketing Manager, Raoul Nana, highlighted the brand’s dedication to the sport’s development. “After four successful years, we’re not just maintaining our support – we’re amplifying it,” Nana stated. The partnership, now in its fifth year of a six-year agreement, has become a cornerstone of women’s football development in Cameroon.

The material support for clubs is substantial, with each team receiving 50 complete jersey sets and sports bags for every player. In an innovative move to boost media coverage, journalists attending the event received a surprising multimedia kit package, underlining the league’s commitment to increasing visibility and professional coverage.

Bertille Ebeka of Guinness Cameroon emphasized the partnership’s impact on player development: “Our investment goes beyond sponsorship – it’s about nurturing talent and creating pathways to international football. Seeing GSL players represent the Indomitable Lionesses at the World Cup validates our approach.”

Through Secretary General Sydonie Tagne, the league’s administration promised enhanced spectator experience and timely player compensation, addressing key areas for professional development. “With Guinness’s support, we’re elevating both the quality of play and the business of women’s football,” Tagne affirmed.

A highlight of the launch was the revelation of the league’s new logo, selected through a nationwide creative challenge that attracted over 92 participants. The winning design by Enock Fabrice Joel artfully combines Guinness’s iconic branding with feminine silhouettes and football trophy, creating a powerful symbol of the league’s identity.

With the new season approaching, all eyes will be on Cameroon to see how this ambitious vision unfolds on the pitch.
