AFCON 2019: Shameless Cameroon unveil new kit 0
2017 Africa Cup of Nations champions, Cameroon have unveiled new kit ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
The unveiling was done in Yaoundé as the team continued its preparations for the biennial tournament.
The team maintained its fitted and round neck style which is known for in the past but the dark green of the body became lighter a little bit.
The Indomitable Lions has been placed alongside four times AFCON winners Ghana, Benin and Guinea-Bissau.
Despite the country being stripped of the hosting right of the competition, they will still have the opportunity to defend the trophy they won two years ago.
Cameroon remains one of the most successful teams in the history of the AFCON, having won it five times with only the seven-time winners Egypt having bettered their record.

Age cheating accusations hit Under 17 Afcon, Cameroon implicated 0
The ongoing Under 17 African Cup of Nations in Tanzania has been rocked by accusations of age cheating. Recently, Moroccan soccer administrative body accused Cameroon of using players who are way over 17. According to the body, the West African nation has a number players who are 25 years old.
The allegations came after Morocco’s loss to Cameroon in a final group B assignment. The young Indomitable Lions triumphed 2-1, a result which saw them seal a place at the Under 17 World Cup later this year.
According to President of the Moroccan soccer body Fouzi Lekjaa, they will report the matter to FIFA since CAF has failed to take appropriate action. He argues the continental body was alerted about the issue.
“I am sorry to say CAF is totally unable to handle this case relating to the age of the players. It is not enough to suspend players who are above the legal age. They should rather disqualify these teams and punish officials who are responsible for this situation,” said Lekjaa
At the ongoing tournament, 6 players were disqualified for age cheating and three of them are Cameroonians. This followed tests which were conducted.
Niger was disqualified for using over aged players at the 2009 tournament. Niger’s disqualification saw Malawi taking their place at the World Cup having automatically earned a semi-final spot. The semi-final line-up includes Angola, Cameroon, Guinea, and Nigeria. The four teams will represent Africa at the Under 17 World Cup later this year.
