As part of the preparations against the highly awaited match, a sports march has been scheduled from the Yaounde Parco Vita to the Yaounde Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium for the Lionesses in the early hours of Tuesday November 29.

Since 1998, Cameroon and Ghana have met in the Women AFCON seven times.

Out of the seven times, the Lionesses have recorded two victories and the Black Queens registered five.

Worth noting is the fact that, five of these meetings have been at the group stage (1998, 2000, 2006, 2010 2014). Meanwhile, the games between the two at the semis were a difficult battle as goals came only at extra time.

The first time they met was on 17th December 2002 when Ghana beat Cameroon 3-2 after extra time.

On 28th September 2004, Ghana throw weights with Cameroon and this time, Ghana lost to Cameroon 0-1 after extra time.
