On behalf of the 3rd day of African Cup of Nations qualifiers (CAN) Morocco 2025, Cameroon welcomes this October 11, 2024 at thetade Ahmadou Ahidjo from Yaounde. Indomitable Lions et Harambee stars each have four points and also have in common that they have been riding a wave of invincibility since the start of these qualifiers. Which can distort the imbalance on paper. In fact, this is the 9th meeting between Indomitable Lions and Harambee stars. With an ascendancy for the local selection which has four victories for four draws; and therefore no defeat. If the first meetings were fruitful for the Indomitable Lions (a 2-1 victory during the 1972 CAN and 3-1 twelve years later), their opponents increasingly put up constant resistance to them. The last match between the two opponents dates back to January 2010 in a friendly: a victory (3-1). This shows that the Kenyans are arriving with the intention of putting an end to the long series of invincibility of the Cameroonians. Already, Engin Firat, the coach of Harambee stars, has announced that he has come to put an end to his team’s black streak against Cameroon, which he promises to put in difficulty. While the current generation of Indomitable Lions will aim to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors in the selection.
By the time the two opponents enter the arena, their competitors in the group have already spoken yesterday. Zimbabwe won the game (0-1) against Namibia. Which places the Warriors at the top of Group J, with 5 points. One point more than the two opponents from Yaoundé (4 points). Cameroonians and Kenyans have a chance to gain the upper hand in the event of victory. But a draw places the three teams on the same pedestal, guaranteeing an even more committed sequel in this group. But at home, the Indomitable Lions feel more cornered than the visitors. But not enough to put too much pressure on yourself: “ Whatever the situation, we have a very committed group. We are playing at home and we know that this match is very important for us and for our public”, understood Jackson Tchatchouaright-back.
