Cameroon athletics prize money
Cameroon has taken $93,000 out of athletics, 70th of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Emmanuel Eseme is the only athlete on it, on $93,000.
All of it belongs to one athlete by name. Cameroon has never been paid a relay purse, a World Relays ladder place or a cross country team standing, which are the three things that pay a federation rather than a person.
Every Cameroon athlete athletics has paid
1 of them, biggest first
| # | ATHLETE | PAID | WINS | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emmanuel Eseme | 15 | 2 | $93,000 |
Career totals across all six competitions, not a single season. PAID is how many finishing places were paid for, which is a different count from wins: a second place in a Diamond League final and a world title are both one payment. One of these athletes has a page of their own here.
Where the money comes from
All six competitions, and what each has sent Cameroon

| Diamond League | 1 | 2 | $87,000 | — | $87,000 |

| World Relays | — | — | — | — | — |
| Cross Country | — | — | — | — | — |
| All six | 1 | 2 | $93,000 | — | $93,000 |
The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Cameroon on $87,000, 93.5% of the national total. Two of the six have paid Cameroon. Cameroon has won nothing at the World Championships, the Ultimate Championship, the World Relays and the World Cross Country Championships.
The ATHLETES column counts the people each competition paid, so it does not add up to 1: one athlete has been paid by more than one of the six, and is counted in every row that paid them and once in the national total. Emmanuel Eseme has been paid by two of them: the Diamond League and the World Indoor Championships.
