AFCON 2017: Cameroon players received by President Biya at Unity Palace

Cameroon’s Africa Cup of Nations-winning squad has been given a special state reception by the country’s president Paul Biya.

The Indomitable Lions, who lifted the trophy on Sunday after beating Egypt 2-1 in the final in Gabon, attended a ceremony in Yaounde on February 8.

They presented the AFCON 2017 trophy to President Biya at Unity Palace.

Cameroon’s players were given medals by the president, who said their victory should be celebrated by Cameroonians as one nation.

Cameroon’s success in Gabon ended a 15-year wait to win the tournament again and gave them their fifth title.

The country will host the next edition of the Nations Cup in 2019.
