In a thrilling display of skill and determination, Colombe Sportive of Dja et Lobo has clinched their first-ever Cameroon Cup title, marking a historic moment for the club and its supporters. The 64th edition of the Cameroon Cup saw Colombe Sportive emerge victorious with a narrow 1-0 win over Aigle Royal of Menoua, thanks to a ninth-minute header from Duamel Boris Ekotto. This goal, set up by Ivan Mvondo’s precise cross, was enough to secure the win and etch the team’s name in the annals of Cameroonian football history.
This victory is not just about lifting a trophy; it represents the culmination of 71 years of perseverance, dedication, and the unwavering spirit of a club that has stood the test of time. It’s a triumph that redeems their semifinal heartbreak from the previous year and signals a resurgence of southern football glory, following in the footsteps of FC Ebolowa’s Guinness Super League title and Atlantic FC of Kribi’s National Interpools triumph.
The win also sets Colombe Sportive up for the Cameroon Super Cup against Elite One champions Victoria United of Limbe. It grants them a ticket to the prestigious 2025 CAF Confederations Cup. This achievement is a testament to the club’s growth and the potential for even greater success in the future.
The journey to this point has been nothing short of remarkable. From the semi-final qualifications to the final showdown, Colombe Sportive has demonstrated that dreams can indeed become reality with unity, strategy, and a bit of flair.
