In a recent communique from the Cameroonian football federation, FECAFOOT, released on December 12, the country’s football body made it clear that the Bamenda stadium and other stadiums will be available by May 2017.
                FECAFOOT in a communiqué “The Executive Committee of FÉCAFOOT is pleased to note that the construction of the stadiums in Bamenda, Bafia, Bangangté and Sangmelima is progressing well within the framework of the FÉCAFOOT / Prime Potomac partnership.
                It confirms FECAFOOT’s commitment to make these stadiums available latest May 2017, “reads the communiqué.

                According to the FECAFOOT President, Tombi A RokoSidiki, the stadiums that were initially said to be realized by November this year, could not meet deadline due to some factors.
                He did this by justifying the fact the delay observed in the construction of the Bangangté stadium, precisely because of the opposition faced by the company in charge of the works, of the expropriated populations who required compensation in advance before work can commence.
                The Bamenda stadium is to have 2500 covered seats, the latest generation of synthetic turf that allows for better evaluation of water, team dressing and Press rooms, TV Studio, VIP Chamber, Officials room, restaurant, Olympic running tracks and provision to handle at least seven sport disciplines.
                The project is said to cost circa FCFA 780 million.
