Cameroon’s U17 Lions beat New Caledonia 2-0 in their first warm-up match ahead of the U17 World Cup in Qatar, with goals from Chris Karel (10th minute) and Kenzy Akame (59th minute). Coach Thomas Libih secured his first win, ahead of a match against New Zealand on Sunday, according to Actu Cameroun.

The Cameroon U17 Lions opened the scoring in the 10th minute through Chris Karel, before Kenzy Akame doubled the lead in the 59th minute, according to Actu Cameroun. Coach Thomas Libih thus secured his first win in charge of the side.

This match was the Lions' first warm-up outing ahead of the U17 World Cup in Qatar. They will face New Zealand on Sunday 15 November at 2pm, Cameroon time, for their second warm-up match.

This test comes a few days after the announcement, on 11 November, that nine expatriate players were joining the U17 Lions in Qatar.
