Cameroon shows off cultural heritage at AFCON draws

Cameroon has reconfirmed her position of Africa in miniature at the draw for the 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations, this 18th September 2016.

During the ceremony at the Multipurpose Sports Complex in Yaounde, the rich Cameroonian heritage was displayed through traditional dances from the four cultural zones of Cameroon: the Fang Beti, Sahel, Sawa and Grassfield. The excitement went wild as each individual in the hall was able to identify with one of the cultural zones.

Even the representatives from other African countries were able to identify a Cameroonian dance similar to theirs Apart from representing Cameroon, the dance groups went the extra mile to present the traditional dances of the seven other countries participating at the 2016 AFCON.

It was a total blend of colour and culture as flags were waved during the performances as an expression of joy, communicating Cameroon\'s readiness to host the 2016 AFCON. Even the traditional regalia donned by many went a long way to tell the story of a multicultural Cameroon. In the meantime, a projection of some remarkable parts of Cameroon was made available to help the visitors catch a glimpse of what Cameroon is like while saying a warm Cameroonian, "Welcome/Bienvenue"!
