At least 8 fans died and 38 people injured in a stampede at a stadium in Cameroon, before the host nation’s round of 16 game in the Africa Cup of Nations against Comoros, government says.
The Confederation of African Football , the continent’s soccer government body, said in a statement that it was investigating.
Cameroon is hosting the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in 50 years. The Central African nation was meant to host the tournament in 2019 but the event was taken away from it that year and awarded to Egypt because of serious concerns with Cameroon’s preparations, particularly the readiness of its stadiums.
Olembe Stadium was one of the venues that was under scrutiny. It is the main stadium for the monthlong tournament and will stage three more games, including the final on Feb. 6.
