World football`s governing body Fifa may be taken to court by sportwear manufacturers Puma over the row surrounding Cameroon`s one-piece kit.
Fifa have announced that the kit, worn by the Indomitable Lions at the 2004 African Nations Cup in Tunisia, is banned and have docked Cameroon six points ahead of the qualifying matches for the 2006 World Cup.
Puma are seeking compensation for this decision for lost revenue. They have reportedly put their case to a court in Nuremberg.
"Someone has
togo to Fifa," Puma representative Horst Widmann told the German sports agency SID.
"It can not carry on like this."
Fifa initially decalred the kit as being illegal during the Nations Cup, but Puma said there was not time to change it during the tournament.
Mr Widmann disputed Fifa`s interpretation, saying that: "there is nothing in the rules of the game that the shorts and the shirts can not be connected."
Cameroon have similarly vowed to fight Fifa`s six-point deducation.
