About Us

CAMDER FC (Cameroonians in Derby Veterans Football Group) is a vibrant and fast-growing Cameroonian veteran football group based in Derby, United Kingdom. Founded in April 2022, we blend sport, social bonding, and community development into one powerful mission: bringing people together for growth, wellness, and unity.

How and Why CAMDER FC Was Formed

It all started with a group of Cameroonian friends in Derby including our current president, Emmanuel Muzang who came together every weekend to relax, share a few beers, and enjoy some laughter. One of those weekends, an idea came up: why not start a football group where we could play, socialise, and build stronger bonds?

Weekend after weekend, the idea kept coming up until finally, in early April 2022, we decided to take action. Responsibilities were assigned: some were tasked with buying footballs, others with inviting more Cameroonians, and of course, someone had to bring the beers. That Sunday, we met at Normanton Park Derby and CAMDER FC was born.

By 2023, we became officially registered as a Community Interest Company (CIC), further solidifying our mission. Today, CAMDER FC is recognised as one of the best and most family-friendly Cameroonian veteran football groups, not just in Derby but across the global diaspora.

We’re more than a football team, we’re a support network. While we enjoy sport and leisure, our focus also includes personal development, career growth, and helping each other live better, more fulfilling lives.

Our motto, Fraternity, Solidarity, and Community Engagement, reflects who we are: an Ubuntu-inspired family that thrives together.
Our slogan, Sports and Leisure, is the root of our cause and the heartbeat of our community.
