Football/Cameroon : Controversy surrounding the Identity of Nathan Douala, his club denies accusations and announces his participation in the playoffs

Cameroonian footballer Nathan Douala has found himself at the center of a heated controversy in recent days. Allegations claim that he manipulated his identity to extend his career at a professional level. According to reports, he goes by the name Alexandre Bardelli and is allegedly 23 years old, rather than the previously stated age of 17.

This issue has sparked a wave of discussion on social media, with many observers pointing out the shortcomings of the football system in Africa. However, both the player and his club, Victoria United, categorically deny these accusations, stating that Alexandre Bardelli is actually Nathan Douala’s older brother, who passed away some time ago.

They insist that the misinformation circulating about this matter is harming Nathan Douala and their club. Despite this turbulent period, Nathan Douala still attracts attention from several clubs.

While awaiting a resolution between his current club and potential suitors, there is a glimmer of hope: he may finally be allowed to play for his team during the playoffs.

His name is now reportedly on the list approved by FECAFOOT to participate in upcoming matches. This decision offers a welcome respite to Nathan Douala, allowing him to focus on the game and continue proving himself on the field.
