Cameroon
face being stripped of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations after continental
football chief Ahmad Ahmad admitted Saturday that the country “is not ready” to
host
the 2019 tournament.
“Cameroon
isn’t ready to welcome even four teams,” said Ahmad, the president of the
Confederation of African Football (CAF).
With
Cameroon struggling to complete the necessary infrastructure projects to host
the three-week event, Ahmad said that an inspection committee will be sent to
evaluate progress.
“It’s only
then that we would take the necessary conclusions with the executive
committee,” he said before adding that there is always a “plan B”.
“Plan B is
to open tender procedures so that there are other (countries) participating in
the organisation,” said Ahmad without elaborating.
A number of
countries, including Morocco and Algeria, have said they are ready to host the
2019 event.
