Cameroon\u2019s Indomitable Lions arrived in Gaborone, Botswana, in the early hours of Saturday, November 14, 2026, as preparations intensify for Monday\u2019s crucial 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying encounter against Namibia.<\/p>\n

The delegation, led by head coach David Pagou, touched down at 5:30am local time before being transferred to The Grand Hotel Palm in the heart of the Botswana capital, where the team will be based ahead of the encounter.<\/p>\n

The arrival marks the beginning of the final phase of preparations for the Lions, who are looking to maintain their positive momentum in the qualifying campaign. Bryan Mbeumo and his teammates are scheduled to hold their first training session on Botswana soil this Saturday afternoon, as the technical staff work on the final tactical adjustments.<\/p>\n

Cameroon will face Namibia on Monday, November 16, at 2pm local time at the Botswana National Stadium in Gaborone. The fixture, which counts for Matchday Four of the 2027 AFCON qualifiers, presents another important opportunity for Pagou\u2019s men to strengthen their position in the race for a place at the continental showpiece.<\/p>\n

With qualification points increasingly valuable, the Indomitable Lions will be determined to build on their previous meeting with Namibia and deliver another convincing performance. The technical bench will be hoping the short preparation period in Gaborone is enough to get the squad ready for what promises to be a demanding encounter.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
