Written by Radio Desk Published in Foreign January 06 2023 0

The Cameroon U-17 football team is struggling to find players after another group of players failed the MRI test. In December, 21 players had been sent packing by the team after they failed the age test introduced by Samuel Eto'o, the President of the country’s football governing body, FECAFOO.

According to BBC Africa, the Head coach Jean Pierre Fiala had initially named a squad of 30 players, out of which 21 failed the test. Another crop of players was called up and 11 of them failed the same test, leaving the coach scrambling for players within the required age.

Cameroon is set to host Congo, Chad, DR Congo and Central African Republic for the Central African Football Federations' Union later this month.
