Defending Champions Cameroon will be in the limelight as they seek to retain their crown in Egypt at the 2019 edition of Total Africa Cup of Nations.
The Indomitable Lions are the second most successful team in Afcon history with 5 titles, 1984, 1988, 2000, 2002 and 2017.
Their Afcon triumph in 2017 edition in Gabon was achieved after they defeated Egypt 2-1 in the final, a late Vincent Aboubakar goal in the 88th minute giving Cameroon the victory.
Coach Clarence Seedorf has injected some new blood and with the likes of Andre Onana playing at his very first Afcon Campaign the young Ajax keeper brings a lot quality to this Cameroon side.
Seedorf’s plan seems to boarder on physical fitness and having beaten Zambia 2-1 in a friendly on Sunday in Madrid, he is now looking to retain the Afcon trophy. Can he help this Cameroon side replicate the class of 2000 and 2002?
The Indomitable Lions are in Group F of the 2019 Nations Cup and first play Guinea Bissau on 25 June in Ismailia before facing Ghana four days later and end on 2 July against Benin.
