YAOUNDE: The final stages of this year's African Champions League must find a new venue after Cameroon said on Monday it would not host the three remaining matches of this year's competition.

Cameroon had been asked by the Confederation of African Football last month to host two semi-finals and the final of the continent's top club competition, which had been postponed in May because of the COVID-19 pandemic, in September.However, Cameroon Football Federation president Seidou Mbombo Njoya told a news conference his government had vetoed the plans because of concerns over transmission of the novel coronavirus.

CAF said the semi-finals would be played as single matches, with extra time and a post-match penalty shootout if necessary to decide the winner.
