The team led by Coach Rigobert Song arrived in the economic capital on Monday, and has been preparing for the 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN) playoffs.

Cameroon will face Sao Tome and Principe home and away starting on the 12th of August 2017 in Sao Tome.

Sources in Douala say Coach Rigobert Song on Wednesday 9 August, 2017, appointed 23-year-old YOSA midfielder, Junior Awono, to replace Coton Sport defender Aaron Mbimbe as the captain of the 20-man squad that will fly to Sao Tome tonight.
