CAMEROON: Cameroon goalkeeper dies after collapsing while warming up for a game

The Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) has announced the death of Jeanine Christelle Djomnang on Sunday.

Fans in Romania have been lighting memorial candles on the pitch where Patrick Ekeng collapsed on Friday

The 26-year-old goalkeeper collapsed during her warm-up before a Femina Stars Ebolowa match in southern Cameroon, and was rushed to hospital.

Fecafoot says initial reports suggest she died of a heart attack but it is now awaiting formal medical report.

The news comes less than 48 hours after the death of Cameroon international Patrick Ekeng in Romania.

Djomnang complained of chest pains as she prepared to take on Louves Minproff Yaounde in the Cameroon elite league and died on her way to hospital.
