CAF assures fans of safety during CHAN

Wilson Mulinda-The Confederation of African Football CAF has assured football fans of the safety of all teams competing in the CHAN tournament in Cameroon.

The Football Association of Zambia FAZ says this follows repeated inquiries into the safety of the Zambia National Football Team in Cameroon.

FAZ President ANDREW KAMANGA says CAF has assured that all the participating teams in the Total African Nations Championship are safe.

KAMANGA, who is part of the organizing committee of the CHAN says some security concerns were raised and an assessment sought by the participating teams from CAF.

He said there are, however, some security concerns which the organizing committee is aware of and they exist in both the Southern and Northern parts of Cameroon.

KAMANGA says the CAF risk assessment has classified Cameroon at level four risk which is substantial but neither severe nor critical.

He said CAF has additionally recommended several safety measures by the teams to ensure that they do not deliberately place themselves in harm’s way.

Zambia is in Group D and based in Limbe which is in Southern Cameroon, which is embroiled in a long-standing political conflict.

Group D has Guinea, Namibia, Tanzania, and Zambia. The opening game in Limbe is on January 19th, 2021 which will see Zambia face Tanzania while Guinea will battle it out with Namibia.

This is according to a statement released to ZNBC news by FAZ Communications Manager SYDNEY MUNGALA.
