    The Lome main stadium is under a FIFA ban as a result of crowd violence, during a Togo, Mali match in the earlier part of the eliminatories.

    The Togo – Cameroon match will be handled by Egyptian referees and will start at 16 Hours GMT.

    However, one player, football observers in Cameroon, have been questioning his absence is offensive midfielder, Achille Emana of Betis Seville in the Spanish La Liga.
