Following the 3-0 defeat of the Tanzanian female team last week during the away match, the Indomitable Lionesses would face their opponents at home on Saturday, March 8.

The National Female Football Coach; Enow Ngatchou, has called for women to turn out in numbers to encourage the team like the Tanzanians did, led by their First Lady.

The female team has been in camp since February 28 in preparation for the return match.

Rejected Match Bonus

Meanwhile, after trashing the Tanzanian team, the Lionesses rejected FCFA 250,000, which they were each given as match bonuses instead of the FCFA 500,000 initially promised. Even though they refused the players have in camp and training hard to defend the colours of the nation in Saturday's Match.

Sources at the Ministry of Sports and Physical Education have indicated the possibility of stepping up the bonus to FCFA 500.000.However, there are allegations that the girls were asking for FCFA 1 million arguing that they are also the Indomitable Senior Lioness.
