The Africa Football Cup of Nations tournament is scheduled to begin January 9 at Olembe Stadium in Cameroon’s capital, Yaounde. Motsepe says construction workers are improving on the stadium and he is optimistic Cameroon will be ready for the opener. Fradique says workers are arranging parking spaces for cars that will bring football fans, players and match officials to the stadium. Stadium construction began in March 2017. Local media in Cameroon say between COVID-19 and construction delays, the tournament may be postponed yet again.
