The Coach thinks it is a very big opportunity for his boys to win again and keep the trophy since they are the defending champions of the CHAN, a trophy they won in 2018 when they hosted and emerged winners.

Concerning the teams decision to lodged in Douala instead of Limbe, Coach Ammouta was clear that his players and staff are comfortable in Douala and wouldn’t want to start changing towns when they do not have the time.

On his heels, Cameroonian Coach, Martin Ndtoungou Mpile and agile shot stopper Herrido Haschou made their way into the press conference hall rather looking very determined
