The SG, the bus and training base adds to the new FA boss Samuel Eto'o Fils who is yet to make a month in office. It is the first training camp of the indomitable lions since he became President of FECAFOOT. The recent changes have been largely linked to the new FA boss.

The population in Garoua will have to wait till 5pm on January 11, 2021 to watch the first live AFCON fixture. The Ambassador of Nigeria to Cameroon has already notified Cameroon authorities of his country's intention to storm Garoua with a large crowd of supporters. Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin visited home of long time CAF President Issa Hayatou declaring that it was a diplomatic offensive aimed at gathering massive support among the over five million Nigerians resident in Cameroon.

Across Cameroon's capital Yaounde, the flags fly in disorder, national football team gadgets of various formats and designs are on display in shops and by hawkers. The demand for tickets is high and the black market is making serious business. Tickets for 4000FCFA now selling at 10,000, those for 6000 at 15000 and 10000 at 20-25000. A ticket or an accreditation card is cherished like a piece of diamond.

In more ways than one, the Standard Liège man ensured his right back position was not a source of passage for the Ethiopians.

Malgré le contexte profondément marqué par la crise socio politique, les fans du foot étaient au rendez-vous.*

Comoros, Equatorial Guinea, Malawi and Gambia, have caused an unprecedented upset during the competition that enters the eighth finals today.
http://www.hilltopvoices.com/2022/01/afcon-2021-rise-of-underdogs.html
Unlike Bertoua, Maroua and Ebolowa being other regional headquarters not hosting but organising fan zones and tournament villages, Bamenda is void of fervor.
http://www.hilltopvoices.com/2022/01/afcon-2021-finite-fervor-in-bamenda.html
After showering praises on their team for the brilliant performance that led to a qualification for the round of 16, the association described the results as fraudulent with the intention to cause the elimination of Comoros that is on the path to victory.

After winning all three group matches against Egypt, Sudan and Guinea Bissau, Nigeria was generally seen as favourite against a Tunisia side that qualified as best loaders and heavily affected COVID-19.
http://www.hilltopvoices.com/2022/01/afcon-2021-tunisia-ends-road-for-over.html
The Carthage eagles, 2004 champions with a record seven times quarter finals exit will thus take on the The Stallions with a record last three straight quarter finals qualification.

Ranked 150th by the world's football governing body and least in the ongoing competition, the Gambia has become a lead revelation. Historic!!!
http://www.hilltopvoices.com/2022/01/afcon-2021-gambia-continuous-remarkable.html
Heavily affected by COVID-19 with not fewer than 12cases, The Coelacanths without a regular goal keeper kept the match goalless till the 30th minute when Karl Toko Ekambi got the first for Cameroon.

Observers have blamed the incident on the unwieldy and slow procedure fans go through to watch matches especially in Yaounde when host Cameroon is playing.

Though insisting that the responsibility is collective, CAF's strongman maintains that security in the stadium is the duty of the LOC. Dr Patrice Motsepe questioned severally why a stadium gate entrance that was to be opened but was closed.

Veron Mosengo-Omba explained that after the experiences from the Afrcan Nations Championship CHAN in Cameroon early 2021, CAF decided to hire an independent institution to carry out testing during the ongoing AFCON. He went on to appreciate the government of Cameroon for allowing CAF to do that.

The CAF decision which fell like a bombshell on Wednesday evening cancelled an earlier announcement by the President Dr Patrice Motsepe relocating match number 48 from the Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium to the Limbe Omnisport stadium.

Knocked out 3-2 by the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the eighth finals of the last tournament in Egypt 2019, Cameroon though host and 2017 champions didn't come across to anyone as favourites. The Stallions who were third during the 2017 edition, didn't make it to the land of the pyramids. Cape Verde and Ethiopia with very little AFCON success history helped to move the group from public eye.

Not specific in the release on which of the semi final games will be played there, it is likely that match number 50 between Cameroon vs Egypt will be the fixture. The Confederation authorities say all has been done to ensure safety and security; elements CAF President signaled were very important for his institution.

After missing the tournament in the land of Pyramids Egypt 2019 though finishing third in Gabon 2017, the Stallions of Burkina Faso didn't look a promising side for the Semi-finals of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Cameroon 2021.
http://www.hilltopvoices.com/2022/02/afcon-2021-burkina-fasos-journey-to.html
The 2019 runners-up of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Egypt were undoubtedly no small quantity in the 2021 rendez-vous in Cameroon. With a football world class player like Sadio Mané, it was certainly misplaced wisdom trying to ignore the Teranga Lions.

The video of an unidentified Speaker said to be a Christian Pastor predicting the winner of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Cameroon 2021 has gone viral. The man who predicts that an Arab African Country will win the tournament contradicts a witch doctor who had earlier predicted Senegal as winner.

A Senegalese Witch doctor whose name we got as Kahone had predicted the Teranga Lions as winners of the tournament unlike Prophets Stephen Jerubabel who predicted a North African Country amongst others.
