Cameroon's football federation (FECAFOOT) will investigate claims of match-fixing during the country's World Cup group games.

Joseph Owona, president of the Normalisation Committee, released a statement last night confirming the federation's ethics committee will look into allegations made in a German newspaper by a convicted fraudster in regards to three of its preliminary matches - and in particular the game against Croatia.

"Recent allegations of fraud around Cameroon’s three 2014 World Cup games, especially Cameroon v Croatia, as well the existence of "seven bad apples (in our national team)" do not reflect the values and principles promoted by our administration," Mr Owona said in the statement.

"We wish to inform the general public that, though not yet contacted by FIFA in regards to this affair, our administration has already instructed its Ethics Committee to further investigate these accusations.

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

The country finished bottom of Group A, scoring just one goal and conceding nine in their three defeats.

Alex Song was red carded for elbowing Mario Mandzukic in the back during their 4-0 defeat against Croatia , while Benoit Assou-Ekotto tried to head-butt Benjamin Moukandjo in injury time.

The fallout from a disappointing World Cup campaign continued in Cameroon over the weekend, with reports that President Paul Biya has asked Prime Minister, Philemon Yang to launch an investigation into where it went wrong.
