CAMEROON TO HOST THE AFCON 2019

For some time now, there were only speculations that Cameroon could be the host of the African Cup Of Nations in 2019. This was since the FIFA president, Sepp Blatter was seen visiting the country earlier this year to observe and supervise the various facilities put in place by the Cameroon Football Federation in their contest to host this competition.

The Cameroonian Football Federation, FECAFOOT has been working hard together with the government to put in place everything that will be needed to host such an event. New stadia are being constructed such as the Limbe and Bafoussam football stadia and more are still to come.

Cameroon is one of the biggest footbal nations on the African continent and has been cup winners 4 times but has only hosted the competition once and that was way back in the seventies.

The decision for the country to host the 2019 AFCON came in this afternoon from Adis Abbeba.
