| Indomitable Lions of Cameroon to face Burkina Faso in Paris on the 25 of May 2018 |
The indomitable Lions of Cameroon continue to prepare for
the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations with two friendly encounters programmed for the
country. The team will face Burkina Faso on the 25th of May in Paris before
taking on Uzbekistan, 3 days later in Tashkent.
One of
the most sought after countries previously in terms of sparring partners for
friendly encounters, the worth of Cameroon has slowly diminished over time.
Cameroon
who is ranked 51st in the world by Football governing body FIFA in their April
rankings will contest against two teams that are well below him on the
standings. Burkina Faso is ranked 53rd while Uzbekistan is 88th in the world.
Cameroon
that is coached by interim boss Alexandre Belinga will be looking forward to
make it 3 wins from 3 friendly encounters when he takes on the two countries.
The first friendly game for the coach was against Kuwait with Cameroon easily
winning the encounter 3 goals to one.
During
the friendly against Kuwait, self-imposed exile of players from the National
team Andre Onana, Jean Armel Kana Biyick and Carlos Kameni made their return
back to the squad. Stoke City player
Eric Maxim Choupo Moting was scheduled to play the friendly but pulled out at
the last minute due to injury. It is however still unclear if the player will
be available for the two friendly encounters coming up taking in to
consideration that his side Stoke City was related to the English Championship
for next season.
