In the fight, several Cameroonian athletes stood out in Accra and won medals just 4 days before the start of the competition. Only wrestling is the pride of Cameroon for the moment with three medals.
He is Cameroon's standard bearer for the moment at the African Games. This discipline achieved the feat of offering Cameroon its first three medals through the bravery of Blandine Ngiri in the 68 kg category, Myriam Orock in the 53 kg category and Rosine Assouga 50 kg. All medals won so far are bronze. Indeed, the number of metals could increase as the tournament continues. Because the wrestler Cédric Abessolo among the men has not yet entered the ring. Just like his compatriots Monty and Tamby. For the moment, Cameroon is doing well with wrestling and is gradually giving joy to sports fans after numerous defeats recorded in other competitions.
Senegal's men's and women's football teams are living a nightmare.
The second day of the African Games goes badly for Senegal. The representatives of the country of Sadio Mané were beaten in both men and women on March 11, 2024 in Ghana. Despite their successful entry against South Sudan (0-1). The U20 lionesses of Senegal fell to Uganda. The Ugandan goal is the only achievement of the match. He was scored on a kick on goal by Allan Oyirwotha in two stages in the 27th minute. Uganda secured their place in the semi-finals. While Senegal and Nigeria have the same number of points and are forced into a sharing meeting next Friday. Among the two great football nations, one will remain. In the women's category, the Senegalese U20s were victims of the anger of the Nigerians (0-4), in this three-team group, the U20 lionesses and Morocco will compete for the last place next Thursday. A draw would be enough for the Moroccans to qualify. While the U20 lionesses of Senegal will have to win to stay in the competition.
