National team coaches were faced accusations of sexual misconduct with underage players between 16 and 18 years with five of them said to have gotten pregnant.
The scandal came to light following revelations made by a professional player in an open letter, where she condemned the pervasive "droit de cuissage" (right of first night) and "organized debauchery" allegedly endorsed by the federation's president.
The player’s accusations extended to the behaviour of certain coaches whom she claimed were engaged in the harassment and sexual abuse of young female athletes.
The situation worsened when sports journalist Richard Naha reported that five underage volleyball players were currently pregnant as a result of relations with federation officials.
However, FECAVOLLEY issued a statement deny the claims.
However, the federation has denied the report in a statement: "The Cameroon Volleyball Federation, under the leadership of Mr. Julien Serge Abouem, wishes to inform both national and international public opinion that FECAVOLLEY is not involved in the tumult of moral affairs prevalent in the media, especially on social networks," the statement read.
