Tournament news

Cameroon looking forward to tough test

The last team to book a place in the tournament are eagerly looking forward to their first taste of World Championship action.

Because blind football is still developing in Africa, the international governing body IBSA allowed the final place in the event to be by invitation and that was taken up by Cameroon.

Cameroon have forged a close working relationship with the Handisport, the French Federation for disability sport who are working with them to develop their players and a blind football infrastructure.

Arguably Cameroon could not have a tougher draw with former World Champions Brazil and Argentina in their group along with China and France. The friendship will become rivalry when they take on the current European Champions in their Group B game.
