The fate of January 2022 African Cup of Nations finals in Cameroon is shaky over concerns over the country’s readiness to host the tournament.
CAF’s executive committee meeting was told on Sunday there was a major risk of the tournament failing, with construction work incomplete after contractors were not paid.
The meeting was also told about insufficient accommodation and training facilities for the 24 teams, and with several key organisational staff quitting.
To ascertain things for himself, Confederation of African Football(CAF) president Patrice Motsepe flew into Yaounde on Monday for talks.
The CAF executive committee meeting resolved to go ahead with the 24-team event only if Motsepe was able to secure guarantees from Cameroon over its readiness.
Several members of the committee called for the tournament to be postponed, Reuters reported.
But the majority voted for Motsepe to make an emergency trip to engage with the Cameroon government.
