WHISPERS OF INSPIRATION

It's football made in Afrika for Africans by Afrikans brewed on the field of Yaoundé. The matches showcased a unique blend of talents, tactics trends, training and a mettle of time-honoured coaching. Despite the high and low points, the adrenaline of players, spectators, pundits, organisers, betting folks soared and tickled some of us who initially said we did not care.
