The CAF president also said that there will be an inspection by experts and a specialized audit firm, to determine whether the three-week tournament can be held in Cameroon.
Plan B according to him would be opening the tenders again so that other countries can participate.
Morocco and Algeria have already demonstrated ability to host the CAN 2019.
