He said: “We had wonderful discussions with the Prime Minister, the Sports Minister and the leadership of football in Cameroon. We are making good progress because our ambitions and expectations are very high. These on-going discussions to keep track on progress are important. There is a team from CAF ed by the General Secretary Veron (Mosengo-Omba) that is based in Cameroon that is working very close with the Local Organising Committee, the government and FECAFOOT.
