The Cameroon football federation, Fecafoot, will appeal against Fifa's decision to deduct six points from their upcoming World Cup campaign.
Fifa's disciplinary committee made the decision on Friday that Cameroon would lose six points from their 2006 World Cup and African Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.
The punishment is for Cameroon's decision to wear a one-piece football kit at the Cup of Nations in Tunisia earlier this year.
Fifa told the Indomitable Lions that they had to change their strip after the first round of the championship.
However Cameroon wore the kit for their quarter-final loss to Nigeria.
Fecafoot's secretary general Atangana Mballa told BBC Sport about their reaction to the news.
"The sanction from Fifa was shocking and we (Fecafoot) have decided to appeal against it," he said.
"We'll have to fight to make sure that the decision is changed.
"Otherwise our chances of qualifying for the World Cup are almost over."
"
I told them to be careful with the choice of jerseys and now this is the consequence

Fecafoot's appeal will now be dealt with directly by Fifa's Executive Committee.
Andre Nguidjol the administrative manager of the national football teams explained that the Indomitable Lions used the kit in the match against Nigeria with permission from African football's governing body, Caf.
In a bizzarre twist of fate Nguidjol lost his job on Friday to be replaced by Emmanuel Engongomo.
Cameroon pleaded with Caf to allow them to use the kit in the quarter-final saying that they couldn't get a replacement strip in time for the match.
One person who didn't seem surprised by Fifa's decision was former Cameroon great Roger Milla.
" We were warned during the 2002 African Cup of Nations, the World Cup and the Confederations Cup," he said.
"I told them to be careful with the choice of jerseys and now this is the consequence."
As well as the points deduction Fifa also imposed a fine of US $154,000 which Puma, the manufacturers of the kit, said they would pay on behalf of Fecafoot.
Cameroon are in Group 3 of the 2006 World Cup and Cup of Nations qualifying campaign alongside Egypt, Ivory Coast, Libya, Sudan and Benin.
