Reacting to the news, Caf's director of communications Alex Siewe no discussions have been done between his outfit and leading Cameroon officials on taking such a decision.

"We can't keep spending time dealing with rumours," he told BBC Sport Africa while adding, "We did not receive any other message or information from our leaders - nothing such as changing of dates or countries. We did not discuss such during all our last meetings."

"We are on site. We are working."

As it stands now, the 2021 TotalEnergies AFCON will start on January 9 and end on February 6, 2022.
