Got an opinion? Express it here. Each week we throw up a different subject to let followers of African football have their say. Some of your views will be read on Fast Track - the BBC's African sports programme.
On Friday, Fifa punished Cameroon for their use of a one-piece kit at February's Cup of Nations in emphatic fashion.
The Cameroon football federation Fecafoot were fined US $154,000 for using the Puma-designed oufit, which Fifa says contravened the equipment requirements of Law 4 of the Laws of the Game.
In addition, the Cameroonians were docked six points from their qualifying group for the 2006 World Cup.
The Indomitable Lions thus have a mountain to climb if they are to overcome Group 3 rivals such as Egypt and the Ivory Coast to reach Germany.
But what do you think of the punishment? Do you feel it is fair or harsh on Cameroon?
Were Fifa right to describe the Indomitable Lions' use of the kit as a 'serious infringement of the Laws of the Game'?
Are Cameroon's kit sponsors Puma are in any way to blame for this punishment? Or is knowledge of the laws of the game Fecafoot's responsibility?
No matter how controversial your views might be, use the form on the right to have your say.
The sanction is right and they deserve to be punished more. After they were warned not to use the strip for their next match, they still went ahead and used it. I think a 12-point deduction would have been a better punishment.

Cameroon deserve the 6-points deduction. They were warned at the Cup of Nations yet still went ahead to wear the strips and this shows that they don't care about what Fifa will do to them. So they deserve what they got.

It's unfair and harsh to punish the team by docking them six points. The fine was already harsh enough for an African FA. As for the rule, Law 4 should be relaxed to take into account the latest in technology and fashion trends - so long as the players aren't running around the pitch naked or without shirts. Cameroon's trendy new kit should actually be considered as an optional kit for any team. It's necessary that the game moves with the times.

The Cameroonians have had it coming since this is their second brush with Fifa on the same issue. Football is a sport of skill and not a modelling or fashion parade.

Winning or losing points should be settled on the pitch not the boardroom. Fifa should be ashamed of taking this harsh decision.
Nicholas, Holland
Why didn't Fifa stop Puma when they presented the design? Whatever the case, the truth of the matter is that the magnitude of Fifa's punishment is awkward and may well raise another debate. Is it only about the outfit?
Manga, Holland
Yes, the punishment is well deserved. You must play by the rules as stipulated. You cannot go making your own rules, and besides they were warned and given a chance to wear the correct gear.
Jim Oluoch, Nairobi, Kenya
Fifa should have just said that Cameroon won't be allowed to play at the World Cup in Germany. All they are doing is making it look like they would like Cameroon to be in Germany when in reality they don't. Someone on the Fifa committee does not like Cameroon.
Anthony Tony, USA
The decision to dock six points is very unfair and harsh. It is as if Fifa does not want to see Cameroon qualify for the World Cup lest they put on the outfit again. If Fifa does not rescind the decision to dock points, then it might even be seen as a vendetta against Hayatou for having stood against Blatter.
Isaburye Joseph, Uganda
Caf should boycott the 2006 World Cup in Germany, and let us show Fifa that they cannot exist without African football.
C. Brown, Holland
Fifa has taken a very bold step to bring discipline into football. Puma and Cameroon felt they had enough money to meet whatever fine Fifa imposed and that's why they went on to violate their earlier agreement. This should serve as an example to other countries who feel they can hold Fifa to ransom. Cameroon will now understand why they should respect agreements and the rules of the game. Kudos Fifa!
Zayyana Abba Abdullahi, Abuja, Nigeria
Fifa's decision to punish Cameroon is very harsh. Football is a sport where humans compete, not kits. To take six points from the team's World Cup qualifying campaign for such a stupid thing is really unbelievable. Shame on Fifa. Once upon a time, there were national teams playing for their countries and continents - now they play for a firm which is called Fifa. So Fifa, leave Cameroonians alone and bring the rationalization back.
Milos, Liberia fan, Topola, Serbia
Fifa was left with no choice but to take disciplinary action. I think Fifa found themselves in a difficult position faced with insubordination from a leading African nation. A message had to be sent to other nations that such insubordination cannot be tolerated, especially at such a high level of the game. To some extent I think Fifa is justified. I understand it is painful to Cameroon.
Brighton Mupangavanhu, South Africa
The punishment is harsh but fair and Cameroon only have themselves to blame. Fifa asked them to change their kit for the second round of African Cup of Nations but still they insisted on playing with the kit. This made Fifa look like it had lost control. I can't deny that I'm happy with this decision because it makes my country Egypt's job easier.
Yasser, Egypt
It is a pity for Cameroon and Africa that such a thing should happen. Maybe this is the right opportunity for Cameroonians to realise that it is about time to start putting things in order in that country, not only as far as football is concerned.
Ngassa Elvis, Brescia, Italy
This is too harsh. It appears someone somewhere is trying to fix the Cameroonians for an issue which could have been settled long before the 2004 African Cup of Nations.
Safari Mustafa, Sweden
The Fifa decision is too harsh. It makes no sense to remove so many points from a team. A fine would have been enough.
Guy, America
Fifa has taken the matter out of the realm of sports and into politics.
