Far from out-of-touch technocrats, Dr Jean Crépin Soter Nyamsi is above all a committed football actor. He embodies the new generation of global sports leaders: a man of action, steeped in ethics, able to combine mastery of global political issues with the everyday reality of grassroots football.
President of DIHEP DI NKAM Club (Cameroon), he knows every square centimetre of the pitch: the financial difficulties of emerging structures, the challenges of training, the expectations of communities. An experience that grounds his legitimacy.
Member of the Executive Council of Junior Académie Football (France), he actively works on structuring elite pathways and detection bridges between Africa and Europe.
Founding member, for 8 years, of a global multicultural sports think tank: an ideas laboratory gathering experts from all continents, dedicated to sports development issues in developing countries. This network today constitutes 80% of the strategic team supporting his candidacy.
Candidate for the presidency of the Cameroonian Football Federation in 2021, he made history in continental football with a decisive strategic withdrawal to seal a victorious alliance with President Samuel Eto’o. This statesman’s gesture demonstrated his unique ability to put collective interest above personal ambition.
FIFA must cease to be a disconnected bureaucracy and become a common home founded on integrity, equity and shared development. He carries the voice of the 211 member federations.
