U23 Afcon: Cameroon coach Song relishing clash against Tanko's Ghana

Cameroon coach Rigobert Song has extra motivation when his side play Ghana in their opening game of the Africa U23 Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Egypt on Friday.

Both debutants at the competition, the Indomitable Lions and the Black Meteors are set to square off in a Group A duel at Cairo International Stadium.

The match will also be a battle of old friends, with Song and Ghana coach Ibrahim Tanko coming face to face following their time together as technical team members of Cameroon's senior national team.

"Being here [at the tournament] is a great chance for us but what we care about is to continue what we already started," Song said at the pre-match press conference on Thursday, as reported by Cafonline.
