The circumstances, including whether the injuries occurred before kick-off or when the match was already underway are unclear. The victims were reportedly ferried to the city’s Messassi hospital after the incident where they are admitted. AP reported Naseri Paul Biya, governor of the central region of Cameroon, as having confirmed the number of casualties and suggested the number may rise. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) said that they were trying to get further information about the incident. A statement released by CAF read: > CAF is currently investigating the situation and trying to get more details on what transpired. > We are in constant communication with [the] Cameroon government and the local organising committee. > Tonight the Caf president, Dr Patrice Motsepe, sent the General Secretary, Véron Mosengo-Omba, to visit the supporters in hospital in Yaoundé. Olembe Stadium has a capacity of 60 000 but, due to COVID-19 regulations, its capacity was capped at 80% for Cameroon’s fixtures. *More: The Guardian* itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
