Sports administration
After his high jump career, Evelé worked in various administrative roles including being the Director of Semry. At the CDBF session of 8 November 2011, Evelé was pledged guilty of mismanagement in 2006 and 2007. He was declared a debtor to the Public Treasury for the sum of 6.1 million representing the damage suffered by Semry with an additional fine of one million also imposed on him. As a lawyer in sports he was involved in the global ban on Cameroon for government interference. In October 2017, following the appointment of a new normalization committee to lead the Fédération Camerounaise de Football (FECAFOOT), he was named as a member of the Commission de la Coupe du Cameroun by the new leadership under Dieudonné Happi. In this capacity, Evele was tasked with organising the 2017 edition of the Coupe du Cameroun, having been retained from the previous normalization committee led by Joseph Owona.
