Cameroon had suffered the same treatment in Libya.
It was November 21, 2023. Cameroon played Libya for the 2nd day of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The Indomitable Lions experienced real hell before and during the match. Despite this, they came back with a draw (1-1).
Before the match, the reception conditions were terrible. Just like the Nigerian team, they spent hours and hours at the airport before finally returning to their hotel.
On game day, it wasn’t any better. At the newspaper microphone The WorldFabrice Ondoa, the Cameroonian goalkeeper spoke: “ Our national anthem was whistled and cut. I received bottles of water, including one on the head. I was treated to monkey cries and so did my teammates. The lasers were non-stop. “, he said.
