In the Indomitable Lion’s den: 33rd Edition of AFCON. It will be a thriller in Cameroon the 5-time champion of the African cup of nations. Would it be a host and win?
We are in the land of Africa in Miniature.
We are in the land of the Indomitable Lions.
We are in the land of Roger Milla.
We are in the land of Samuel Eto’o as the leading AFCON scorer with 18 goals.
George Manneh Oppong Weah (His Excellency) was here. Tonnerre of Yaounde was the
place. Since February 1957 we have been coming together in this way. Time to let the beautiful
game and the competition play a bigger role in taking Africa where she should be
As we come together again in this way
Let it also be for a better Cameroon and Africa
Let it also be for a spirit of solidarity and oneness among Africans
Let it also be for good leadership in Africa
Let it also be for love and peace in Africa
Let it also be for the ubuntu concept
Let it also be for many other good reasons. Let the beautiful game and the competition
always be for this.
It must also be against Afrophobia and xenophobia
It must also be against tribalism
It must also be against racism
It must also be against the many conflicts in Africa
It must also be against corruption in Africa
It must also be against the many other vices in Africa. Let the beautiful game and the
competition always be against this.
Africa still without a World Cup Trophy
Very capable we are
Belief we need
And we need to kill corruption
And a proper investment is not optional
And good administration is not optional – those with a spirit of selflessness and good
knowledge of the game to manage the federations
African coaches to be believed in – federations and players respecting them (humility
called for).
Enjoy the wonderful soccer atmosphere in the land of the Indomitable Lions.
Enjoy the wonderful hospitality.
Enjoy the wonderful cuisine.
Enjoy the wonderful places.
Fairplay, we look forward to.
It is a good feeling to have Comoros and the Gambia starting their quest for the trophy in
the land of the Indomitable Lions

There is enough to purchase from the West Region Centre of Trade. You would love the
Bamboutos Mountains. Douala is not only about being the largest city; it is where the
economic capital is; home to Central Africa’s largest port; the commercial and economic
capital of Cameroon and the entire CEMAC region. You would love the Wouri River.
