AFCON U17 : The battle begins for the Lion Cubs

The UNIFFAC tournament that enabled Cameroon’s U17 team to qualify, also showcased the potential of Alioum Seidou’s squad. With technical quality, physical intensity, and above all efficiency, the teammates of the tournament’s top scorer, Mafany, delivered a true display of strength. Their defeat against the Elephants (0-3) allowed the coaching staff to identify weaknesses when facing a high-caliber opponent. However, the defeat could also be attributed to fatigue due to the challenges they faced during their departure from Cameroon to Morocco.

Despite the loss, Cameroon’s U17 team managed to bounce back with victories against Morocco (8-3) and Uganda (4-3), restoring their confidence. However, the defensive shortcomings observed during these matches clearly highlight the fragility of Cameroon’s defense.
