Fécofa, the Congolese Federation of Football Association, was forced to return nearly one million US dollars acquired fraudulently. This sum was initially allocated to the organization of a sporting event.

In the DRC, the General Inspectorate of Finance claims to have foiled an attempt to embezzle public funds. The Tifoco, in other words the Congo International Football Tournament, designed by Christian Enock Lagnide, former Minister of Communication in Benin, is at the heart of this fraud. He created a foundation to collect funds. The latter has entered into a partnership with the officials of the Congolese Federation of Association Football. In 2020 the first edition of Tifoco is a success, but it is not certain that the event will happen again this year. Nearly one million US dollars had been donated by the Congolese state to the accounts of Fécofa. For the General Inspectorate of Finance, these funds “were fraudulently acquired for purposes other than those of the general interest”.
