Cameroon depart for World Cup following dispute

Cameroon have departed for the World Cup after initially refusing to board their plane in a dispute over bonus pay.

The team had been due to fly out to Brazil this morning on a plane chartered by the country's president, but refused to travel after reportedly receiving a smaller payment than expected.

However, head coach Volker Finke told Sport1: "It's just one of those things that these agreements can take longer in Africa. That agreement was struck this morning and now we can fly to Brazil today.

"Our fans will be pleased, Cameroon will of course be participating in the World Cup."

Cameroon face Mexico in their opening game of the tournament on Friday.
