Djeumfa names Cameroon squad for Olympic play-off with Chile
The Central Africans are gearing up for next month's clash with their South American foes and the gaffer has invited 34 players
Cameroon women's coach Alain Djeumfa has invited 34 players for their Olympic intercontinental playoffs against Chile next month.
Having missed an automatic ticket to Tokyo 2021 at the expense of Zambia, the Lionesses must beat La Roja to seal their return to the showpiece for the first time since London 2012.
Ahead of the doubleheader in February, coach Djeumfa has named a 34-player squad, comprising of 22 home-based stars and 12 foreigners for the showdown with the South Americans.
In the 34-player list, four goalkeepers, 11 defenders, eight midfielders and 11 strikers are scheduled to feature in the final camp leading to the crucial clash with Jose Letelier's team.
The major returnee is Tenerife midfielder Feudjio Raissa, who will be making a return to the fold since October 2019, missing the duels against Cote d'Ivoire and Zambia due to a knee injury.
Besides CSKA Moscow's Aboudi Ouguene and Atletico Madrid's Ajara Nchout, Amazone's Ngah Manga and Catherine Mbengono, who tops the top-flight scoring chart, made the list.
According to the Cameroon Football Federation, (Fecafoot), the invited local players are expected to resume camp on Wednesday and will, later, be joined by their foreign counterparts.
The Africans are billed to square up against Chile in the first leg on February 18 in Yaounde before travelling to Santiago six days later.
