Chad football shows signs of revival

Journalist Mbaigolmem Aubain says a true renaissance requires unity among football stakeholders.

However, sports journalist Mbaigolmem Aubain stated on Tchadinfos that these steps are more of a "surge of pride" than a full revival. He noted positive signals but stressed that a true renaissance depends on all football actors speaking with one voice.

Aubain identified a lack of cohesion and conflicting interests among football stakeholders as the main barrier to rebuilding the sport. He described the current environment as "clan-like" and divisive, hindering development efforts.
