U17 World Cup: Cameroon reportedly struggling to function in Brazil

The Cameroonian Football Federation (Fecafoot) is allegedly struggling to finance their Cameroon U17 side preparing for the U17 World Cup billed to start in Brazil on October 26.

As reported by Afrikafoot's source close to the Indomitable Lions, the squad is tolerating tough conditions since they set foot in South America, which has left the team unable to prepare adequately for their opening game against Tajikistan on October 29.

The source bemoaned lack of funds, poor accommodation conditions and an inability to access training facilities.
