In Cameroon, football is one of the sports which makes most people run, it is the most practised countrywide. Only, certain persons think that the success of Cameroon in football is not only due to determination, commitment, skills and vigour, but also depends on magic.
Mikhado Eboa Elame a sports journalist in Cameroon radio television ( CRTV) for more than thirty years asserts that he saw magicians calling upon the spirits during matches opposing Cameroon to other giants.
He thinks that these matches were not won thanks to magic because, according to him, magic does not exist but the belief in it galvanizes.
