She feels that despite this relative success the women’s game in Cameroon is not developing at the same pace as the global game.
“There aren’t enough academies dedicated to training women footballers and most of the coaches who opt to do so have no proper training,” she said.
“Some do this out of goodwill but when there are no finances forthcoming they’re forced to abandon the players.”
The former Centre back who captained Cameroon from 1989-1998 also played for Canon Filles, Azur of Congo and Flame Sacré of Cabinda.
Mvoue admitted that things that have changed since she began her career.
“When I started playing football in the mid 80’s, we’d walk for about 10 kilometres from one part of the city to another just to play a game,” she said.
“The pitches were bad – some were very rocky and usually by the time the game ended we had several injured players. Games were mostly exhibitions.
“We didn’t receive medical support and we usually never had any money after the games.
“We played passionately for the bragging rights knowing that winning a game at that period was more important.
“I played top tournaments for free but captaining the national team meant more to me than the money. It’s an honour which money can’t replace”
“Now the players train in better facilities, receive huge sums of money and can afford to go abroad to play tournaments. It’s easier for them to take care of their families and foster their careers”
