Yaounde, Cameroon, Africa (Cameroon News)  - Lionesses of Cameroon will play a friendly this afternoon in Kinshasa against the DR Congo in preparation for the African Women’s Championship to hold in Equatorial Guinea as from October 28, 2012.

Cameroon will play two other friendly matches against South Africa and Ghana before their departure to Equatorial Guinea for the championship.

Cameroon will play in Pool B alongside Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria and Ethiopia.

The Lionesses of Cameroon have begun their last preparative phase for the 2012 African Women’s Championship that opens on the 28th of this month in Equatorial Guinea. The team plays today in Kinshasa against the DR Congo and will run up will two other friendlies in Yaoundé next week.

Their intention is to win the trophy for the first time in eight participations but sports reporter Simon Lyonga says it will be real difficult looking at the caliber of teams to feature in the competition.

The African Women’s Championship has gradually gained steam and sparked excitement in the lovers of the game as the participating countries increased their interest in the competition.

It is true women’s football in Africa is still to be fully developed like that of their male brothers, the reason why the same names keep coming up for the final phase.

Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa alongside Cameroon have been regulars featuring in all seven editions which Nigeria and South Africa took turns to host.

Equatorial Guinea got into the dance in 2008 winning the competition to break the Super Eagles hegemony that was reinstated two years later in South Africa.

And it is to defend their title that the Nigerians will come to Equatorial Guinea this year to begin their campaign in Bata alongside Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire and Ethiopia.

The Ethiopians are the group outsiders and will count on surprises, while the fight will certainly be tough between Cameroon and Côte d’Ivoire as for a possible qualification ticket into round two alongside the Super Falcons, but besides this conclusions of bookmakers lay the realities on the ground with the Cameroonians who have been on almost all the fronts this year even beating the blue birds, the Nigerians on their way up. Revenge will therefore be looming in the atmosphere in Bata.

For Pool A teams, the Equatorial Guineans are once more expected to push their girls to higher heights as they prepare to take on South Africa, Senegal and the DR Congo. The Nzalangs are the group’s super favorites where there are rich constellations of star players handpicked from Cameroon, Nigeria, Spain, Brazil and Equatorial Guinea. With the DR Congo rising rapidly in the domain, the outsiders would be Teranga Lionesses who are expected to spring surprises also against their challengeable group mates.

As the countdown narrows therefore, the heartbeats become faster with the teams springing their final warm-up games. Perhaps the only regrettable absentee would be the Black Queens of Ghana pushed out of the race by the Lionesses of Cameroon.

The National Ladies Football team will today in Kinshasa play a friendly match against their counterparts of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The friendly is part of preparations for the African Ladies Football Championship in Equatorial Guinea as from the 28th of October.

The Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon are intensifying preparations ahead of the African Ladies Football Championship in Equatorial Guinea as from the 28th of this month. The girls have left the country for the Democratic Republic of Congo for a friendly game with the Congolese National Ladies Football Team.

Some coaches of from various sporting disciplines in the Central African sub-region have schooled on the various ways of preventing the use of drugs by athletes. This was during a one-day workshop today organized by the Cameroon Association for the Fight Against the Use of Drugs in Sports.

All the speakers and those present at the Yaoundé sports complex were unanimous that the use of blood stimulating substances in sports does not only destroy the objective of the game but also the athletes’ health in the long run.

Meanwhile, though measures are being sought everyday to discourage these practices, athletes always develop a way out by either using newly developed substances or at times those that cannot be traced easily. And what is shocking about this is the fact that they usually do so with the complicity of some of their coaches all in the name of winning at all costs, the reason why this seminar was organized to school the trainers on the dangers of such.

One of course facilitators had an exposé on a topic he entitled Coach True which he says will enable them attain their objectives by growing a generation that will play for pleasure and glory the right way and this he says can only be possible if the coaches decides to sensitize their athletes on the dangers of using drugs.

In the same light, the President of the Cameroon Association for the Fight Against the Use of Drugs in Sports proposed that such should even be a prerequisite for any selection as it will force the youngsters to abstain from such practices from their tender ages. Technology, he said, has evolved enabling them to detect hidden substances in the athletes’ system even substances that are still to be developed. He therefore called on the coaches to always keep the list of banned substances handy as well as a list of those being monitored to as to avoid any embarrassment. Initiatives though for now the cost of doing drug tests is still very high and takes so long for the results to be known.

Still in sports, the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon have left the country for the Democratic Republic of Congo where they will play against the Congolese National Ladies Football team. The friendly is part of preparations ahead of the African Ladies Football Championship to take place in Equatorial Guinea from the 28th of October.

Before taking off for the DRC coach Enow Ngachu related the program of their training to our reporter Bennen Buma Gana.

We shall be playing against the Democratic Republic of Congo and later on the 21st we shall be playing against South Africa in Yaoundé and the 24th we shall play Ghana still in Yaoundé before leaving for Equatorial Guinea on the 25th precisely. However we are satisfied because we are working very well and it is true that for the first game, the first friendly match against the DRC who don’t have professional players. Because we think – also prove during the training camp that we can count on them……That was the coach of the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon Enow Ngachu.

Forty eight hours after the elimination of the Indomitable Lions from the African Cup of Nations 2013 in South Africa, questions about the future of the team and measures that should be taken to guarantee a glorious return of Cameroon National Team to the international scene are raised by various newspapers in Cameroon.

For the second consecutive edition, the Indomitable Lions will not take part at the African soccer convention that will be hosted by South Africa from the 19th of January to the 10th of February 2013. After the elimination from the South African jamboree, reflection on the future of the team has started as the third day of the World Cup qualifier 2014 stands at the corner.

According to the national bilingual daily Cameroon Tribune, last Sunday’s match brought inserenity to the lounge then but the situation of the unmovable FECAFOOT leaders still clinging to power maybe a thorn in the shoe. Cameroon Tribune also underscores the fact that the acting technical team of the Indomitable Lions have no contract neither have they a roadmap nor a specified mission with clear cut objectives.

The said newspaper also questions the future of Akono, the rest of his assistants after the elimination of the Indomitable Lions. If Akono has succeeded in bringing back the fighting spirit and harmony in the team neither FECAFOOT nor the Ministry of Sports and Physical have made their intentions know about this technical team.

According to La Meteo, another newspaper, the Indomitable Lions have failed to qualify for the 2013 African Cup of Nations but qualifiers for the World Cup 2014 will resume in March against Togo and it is now that Cameroon football authorities should come together for the reconstruction of football at different layers in the country.
