The Cameroon Football Federation(FECAFOOT) will investigate claims that some of their players could have been involved in match-fixing at the 2014 FIFA World Cup tournament.

Seven players of the Indomitable Lions team are under the spotlight for possible treacherous acts that could have jeopardized Cameroon's participation at the World Cup.

The match being looked at is the 4-0 loss to Croatia which Cameroon were whitewashed 4-0 with Barcelona midfielder,Alex Song sent off and Benoit Assou-Ekotto headbutting his team-mate Benjamin Moukandjo.

A statement from Cameroon's FA read: "Recent allegations of fraud around Cameroon's 2014 FIFA World Cup three preliminary games, especially Cameroon versus Croatia, as well of the 'existence of seven bad apples [in our national team]' do not reflect the values and principles promoted by our administration, in line with FIFA's code of conduct and the ethics of our nation.

"We are strongly committed to employ all means necessary to resolve this disruptive matter in the shortest delays."

Cameroon had a disgraceful World Cup,losing all their three group games and scoring just one goal in the tournament.
