Gabon To Host 2017 Africa Cup Of Nations

The draws for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations were conducted in Egypt. The Indomitable lions will play in Group M against South Africa, Mauritius Island and the Gambia.

Cameroon will begin the fight to Gabon 2017 by playing host to the Mauritius Island during the weekend running from June 12^th to 14^th. Then they will travel to Gambia in September to challenge the local side. In March 2016, the Lions will play host to the Bafana Bafana of South Africa at the Mfandena sports complex in the last away leg match. The return leg begins two weeks later with Cameroon this time travelling to South Africa.

In June 2016, they will travel to the Mauritius Island before playing the last qualifier game against Gambia at home. The innovation this year is that the host country, Gabon, will take part in the qualifiers but the results of their matches will not infer on the group classification. Only the group winner from that particular group will qualify for the final tournament. The first of each group qualifies alongside the best two runners-up will qualify for the final tournament.
