Poor crowds is the major talking point ahead of the commencement of the 2016 Africa Women Cup of the nation in Cameroon.

Delegations and the Journalists have arrived for the event. However, the major worry is the absence of the fans from the participating nations.

Their presence is an added advantage to the players on the pitch, thus they are known as the 12th player.

A match with empty seats, no clouds and the noise from the stands is like watching a move without sound.

This is a great cause of headache to the organisers as there is no news of the arrival of the travelling supporters.

The situation has raised extreme panicking to the federation according to sources at Fecafoot.

“Well people are preparing but it seems the international public will be absent.

Apart from Journalists and officials from participating nation, we do not hear of supporters entering the country. It’s seems only Cameroonians will watch the tournament”, The source said.

The premier tournament of Women football, highlighted by most successive Super falcons, 2016 Olympics African contingents Banyana Banyana and the Warriors gets underway tomorrow, 19th November, 2016.
