This Saturday 18 January, the baby Lionesses of Cameroon will host Egypt’s U-17 team at the the Stade Omnisports de Bafoussam-Kouekong. The match will be the second leg of the 2025 World Cup qualifiers which is set to take place in Morocco. Both teams are currently in the preparatory phase in Bafoussam.
What time?
The kick-off is at 2pm at the Stade Omnisports in Bafoussam, with free entry into the stadium for all Lionesses supporters.
Which channel?
Unlike the first leg, the national channel CRTV Sports will be broadcasting the second leg. Fans across all ten regions of Cameroon will be able to watch the match live.
Although Cameroon has a psychological advantage due to the result of the first leg in Cairo, they remain cautious and focused.
“You know, these are young players. They need to be able to replicate what they did in the first leg, while implementing the corrections we’ll be making during the week. It wasn’t all smooth over there, and it’s not just because the score was convincing. I’m sticking to what they weren’t able to do, so that they apply themselves to doing it consistently. A match is a match and you have to respect football because if you don’t, football will disrespect you five times over ,” said Joseph Ndoko, coach of the U-17 Lionesses .
