Cricket was introduced in Cameroon as part of a project of the Commonwealth Students and Youth Development Organisation. The project, dubbed Cameroon Cricket Outreach Program (CCOP), was initiated by Victor Agbor-Nso and had the objectives of using cricket to promote Commonwealth values and ideals, bringing cricket to Cameroon at grassroots levels, and ultimately using cricket to attain other youth empowerment and development goals.

As cricket became popular in Cameroon, moves were made to create a national body to control and govern the game. Contacts were also made with the Cameroon’s ministry of Sports and Physical Education for the creation of the federation. Conditions set by the ministry for the creation of a federation were met and on 15th February 2005, a ministerial decision officially recognised the Cameroon Cricket Federation -FECACRICKET as the sole governing body of the sport in Cameroon.

Since then, FECACRICKET is forging ahead with its missions and objectives while CCOP continues to develop cricketers for Cameroon and empowering youth through cricket. FECACRICKET worked hard to meet ICC guidelines for Affiliate Membership and Cameroon was consequently admitted as an Affiliate at the Annual General Meeting in London on 29th June 2007.Today, Cameroon Cricket is an Associate Member of the International Cricket Council thanks to the continuous hard work of the Federation in growing the game further and further in the country.
