The Cameroon national football team have on Thursday evening rounded up three days of camping in the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
All 20 players invited to camp, including Samuel Eto’o and Albert Meyong Ze who arrived Nairobi Thursday morning, were present in training to the delight of new head coach Ari Haan.
“I am happy with what I have in hand and I am confident we’ll have a positive in Kigali”, Ari Haan said.
The team were divided into two for a ‘friendly’ in the last training session in Nairobi. This was to enable the coaches start counting their first eleven for Sunday 3 September, when they face Rwanda.
There was a small group of Kenyan fans and Cameroonians based in Nairobi to watch the game. In the morning of Thursday, the Cameroonian community of about 100 people were given a chance to visit the team at the Safari park hotel.
Globally the Indomitable lions have had four training sessions in Nairobi, giving the coaches adequate time to appreciate the quality available. The players have demonstrated sufficient discipline and expressed happiness in coming together once more.
Meantime, considering the fact that it was the first time the coaches were coming together, they had a 30-minute meeting with the enigmatic skipper Rigobert Song on Wednesday night.
For Ari Haan it was a very vital meeting as he begins building ‘his squad’ that will take him to the 2008 Nations Cup victory in Ghana.
