It is left to see whether CAF will implement the addition of teams during the next edition following announcement of a possible increment by CAF President Dr Patrice Motsepe, to 28 teams.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Eyong Macdella Journalist,kick442.com-Cameroon Fans across Africa can now mark their calendars for the&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":28130,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[140,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-afcon","category-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 -
