Cameroun President Paul Biya pledges ‘hitch-free’ AFCON tournament
President Paul Biya of Cameroun says his nation will host a hitch-free, zero-incident AFCON tournament next January.
Biya made the pledge when he hosted the president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Patrice Motsepe in Yaounde.
The Camerounian president said the country was implementing Covid-19 global best practices at all the stadiums, training pitches, hotels and all the areas where the players, match officials, spectators and visitors would be present.
Mosipe expressed his excitement and confidence that the AFCON 2022 edition would be one of the best.
He underscored the preparedness of the Central African nation by scoring it high in the areas of stadium infrastructure, training pitches, hotels and other facilities for the hosting of the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations Cameroon 2021.
Cameroun will be hosting its second AFCON exactly 50 years after it last staged Africa’s biggest football fiesta in 1972.
It has lifted the AFCON trophy five times.
