Having lots of inadequacies in her preparations towards the forth coming tournament which she is provisional host, CAF, had to sound the alarm bell. For the interest of the game and loaded with the innovations of the tournament which saw the participating teams raised from sixteen to twenty four, the challenges for Cameroun are the highest.
Barely months to the tournament Cameroun still a very poor road network, poor internet connectivity, with a political 4 G network, that is not apparently visible on the field, poorly equipped and managed hospitals, distances from hotels to the stadia and unaccommodating stadia. These worrisome factors puts the tournament being hosted in Cameroon in doubts.
The report presented to CAF inspectors doesn't speak well of the preparations towards the said tournament by Cameroon. The stadia under construction as well as those being refurbished are too slow in their pace.
In this light CAF has asked for an acceleration of all the works ranging from the stadium in Japoma in Douala and Olembe in Yaoundé.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) will on Wednesday discuss Cameroon’s preparedness to host the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). CAF Director of Communications Junior Binyam said the continental football authority will hold the deliberations after receiving a report from consultancy firm Roland Berger, which toured the country from 12-23 January to assess preparations.
“An intermediary report will be sent by the inspectors,” Binyam said. “That will be part of the Africa Cup of Nations committee agenda on 31 January.” “The report of the Nations Cup committee meeting is part of the Executive Committee agenda on 1 February.” CAF is scheduled to hold a General Assembly on Friday, 2 February at the Hyatt Regency in Casablanca, Morocco. Morocco, which is currently hosting the African Nations Championship, won the rights after Kenya was stripped of the same following an assessment by CAF officials which revealed that the East African country was behind schedule on preparations. CAF President Ahmad Ahmad in August 2017 said that Cameroon would have to convince the body that it was ready to host the tournament.
The competition was expanded from 16 to 24 teams, and is scheduled to be staged in five different stadia in the Cameroonian cities of Bafoussam, Douala, Garoua, Limbe and Yaounde. A decision is expected to be made public after the General Assembly.
