    According to a time table of the Indomitable Lions on the website, the team would have a training session in France that will last from February 8-12. The high point of the Paris camping would be the international friendly against the Guinean Syli National slated for Bondoufle, outskirts of Paris.

    This match is to re-launch the international campaigns of the Lions as they look forward to the third and last round of the joint ACN/ World Cup 2010 eliminatories billed for Angola and South Africa respectively.

    The current Africa best football nation is playing the Squirrels of Togo in Lome on March 28. Our correspondent said the head coach of Cameroon had wanted to play against Mali, Zambia and the Sultanate of Oman but negotiations flopped.

    The Syli National - with some of the best football jugglers currently in the African continent - like Pascal Feindounou and Ismael Bangoura, make for an interesting match and a proper challenge for the Togolese in March.

    Featuring at the pole position in the FIFA monthly classification as the best football nation in the African continent, it is left for Cameroon now to carry herself in that light in the preparation of the February 11 encounter with the Guineans.
