2016 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations: Francophonizing the sale of tickets 0

Following heavy criticism for the delay in the sale of entrance tickets to the stadium for the finals of the 2016 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, the Local Organizing Committee finally came out of this silence to make available to interested football fans the prices and points of sale of tickets to access the stadium.

Cameroon Concord News learnt that tickets will go on sale today November the 8th, 2016 in Yaoundé. The news was made public by Jules Eloi Minjeme, the Director of Sports in the Ministry of Sports and Physical Education. Jules Eloi also indicated that the prices range from FCFA 1000 for the popular tribune, 5000 FCFA for tribune A and 2000 FCFA for stands A and B, while the rostrum will be reserved for holders of a invitation.

Our chief football reporter say five major selling points of these tickets are now known. They include the Ministry of Sports and Physical Education, the Multipurpose Sports Palace in Yaounde, the National Institute of Youth and Sports, the Yaounde Omnisport stadium and the Cameroon Football Federation head office. Thus, only the city of Yaoundé, hosting Pool B of the 10th edition of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations has ticket outlets. Once again, the Anglophone city of Limbe, one of the two host cities has been kept out of the ticket sales.

Twenty year old midfielder and player with Apejes of Mfou, Frank Thierry Boya has been crowned man of the match, after the highly contested 2016 Cup of Cameroon finals between Apejes of Mfou and Bamboutous of Mbouda. He scored the two goals for Apejes FC and helped the team to claim the title of the 2016 Cup of Cameroon.

The man of the match award conferred on Frank Thierry Boya was accompanied by the sum of FCFA 1 million from the Cameroon Football Federation, FECAFOOT. To gain the status, the evaluation committee attributed 55 points to Frank Thierry Boya and 21 to his teammate and contestant, Nelson Moukeu and 7 to Magloire Moifo of Bamboutous.

After just years in the Elite 1 football championship, Frank Boya seems to be enjoying a rapid development in his career. He was captain of the U-23 National Football team and participated in the 2016 African Nations Championship in Rwanda.

The rising star was in the Indomitable Lions squad that played on the 6th of August 2016 in Limbe during a friendly with Gabon. Signed from a 4th Division side two years ago as a trainee from the Nkufor Football Academy, Frank Thierry Boya has progressed tremendously in skill and character.

Turkey: Samuel Eto’o scores as Antalyaspor beats Kayserispor 0

Samuel Eto’o ,the former captain of the Indomitable Lions gave victory to his team Antalyaspor, on  Monday  by scoring the only goal of the game from the penalty spot at the 28th minute. It was his first goal of the most difficult season of his career and it came against Kayserispor.

Antalyaspor has now left the bottom of the Turkish league table now occupied by Adanaspor. Samuel Eto’o has certainly not forgotten the huge bet he did to a supporter of the club. While the latter was very worried about the future of the club, Eto’o said his club would finish in the top 10 at the end of the season. If his prediction is not fulfilled, the former FC Barcelona has pledged to provide 100,000 euros (about 65 million FCFA) to the fan in question.
