Cameroonian Fans Vow To Boycott Lions Vs Super Eagles Match On Monday

Majority of football fans in Yaounde, Cameroon have said they will not bother turning up for Monday’s World Cup qualifier between the Indomitable Lions and the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

According to complete sports, enthusiasm for the match was quite high since Tuesday night.

Most of the fans had predicting home and away wins for their darling Lions, but since Friday when the Super Eagles defeated the Lions with a 4-0 win in Uyo, the boastful fans have been stunned into silence. Now they are saying they will not come to the Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo to cheer their team.

“I love my country very much but no, I’m not going to the stadium,” Arlette, a young lady who works at a supermarket in the 

Tsinga Quarters, said.

“I’m not interested anymore. Somebody wanted to buy me a ticket, but I said I’m not going anymore. He has also changed his mind.”

Another Yaounde resident, Ameer, one of the receptionists at the Phenix Hotel in Titi Garage, close to the stadium, will not be interested in what is going on about 500 metres away from his work place.

“What’s the point of watching?” asks the bi-lingual Ameer in decent English. “Even if the Lions beat Super Eagles on Monday, it makes no difference. I couldn’t believe my eyes on Friday, what was wrong with our team? It’s a good thing many people have not bought tickets.”

Prices for tickets have not been released but signs are that the stadium might not be full to its 45,000 capacity on Monday. Tickets may go for 1,000 FCFA (about N650)
