Afcon 2019: Cameroon bonus crisis reinforced team spirit - Seedorf

Cameroon coach Clarence Seedorf believes the team's strike over their Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) appearance fees and bonuses before leaving for the tournament will not disrupt their ambitions of ruling the continent for the sixth time.

The Indomitable Lions' scheduled trip to Egypt was delayed until Friday as they held a sit-in until fruitful talks with the country's sporting officials.

There have been fears that the incident will affect the side's concentration and chances of successfully defending their title.

"All teams in the world at some point in their history experience such troubles but it will not affect our morale or our preparations,'' Seedorf told the media, as reported by the BBC.
