Chan 2020: Fecafoot unveils revised mascot ‘Tara’ and competition’s theme song

The Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) on Wednesday unveiled the mascot for the 2020 Africa Nations Championship which begins on April 4.

‘Tara’ was initially unveiled in December but was met with severe criticism from Cameroonians who felt the nation’s governing body's choice was wide of the mark.

Show some love for Tara!

They felt the choice of mascot was hideous, frightful and didn’t reflect anything positive from the Central African nation as well as the other participating countries.
