The extraordinary session of the Local Organising Committee for the Organisation of the 2021 CHAN and the 2022 AFCON dubbed COCAN, has met again after five months to evaluate the state of progress in the organisation of the twin football events.

 

The President of the COCAN, the Minister of Sports and Physical Education, Narcisse Mouelle Kombi called for a total engagement of the actors towards the success of the two football jamborees.

After an indoor working session with the various organising committees, marked by committee reports amongst many other activities, the Minister proposed the following:

#Redoubling of efforts by the stakeholders and the mandatory need for a team spirit

#The sense of pragmatism and responsibility of all the actors

#The continuous collaboration of the COCAN with CAF officials

#FECAFOOT should work with competent authorities for the possible relaunch of football activities in the country

The COCAN President called tournament manager to be disciplined, available and proactive.

The session ended with a signature of an agreement between FECAFOOT and mayors of three of the four host cities of Limbe, Buea and Yaounde.
