This is the first time that Cameroon has won the football final of the Francophonie Games. The U20 Lions have been one of the most dominant teams in the competition, winning all of their group games and then defeating Morocco in the semi-finals.

The victory is a major boost for Cameroonian football, which has been struggling in recent years. The U20 Lions’ success will hopefully inspire the senior team.

The Francophonie Games are an international multi-sport event held every four years for athletes from countries where French is spoken. The 2023 Games were held in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, from July 28 to August 6.

The U20 Lions’ victory is a major achievement for Cameroon and for the Francophonie Games. It is a reminder that Cameroonian football is still a force to be reckoned with, and it will be interesting to see how the U20 Lions perform in future competitions.
