Four new stadiums were built in Douala and Yaoundé, as well as in Bafoussam and Garoua. Two other stadiums, in Garoua and Yaoundé, were completely renovated and brought up to FIFA standards, as were around fifteen additional training stadiums. 80% of the hotels that hosted teams, journalists or tourists were either new or renovated, a significant investment by both local and international hotel companies. Spaces were dedicated to investors in the fan zones. As part of the implementation of the airport infrastructure modernization program launched in the run-up to the CAN, the airports of Bertoua, Kribi and Tiko were rehabilitated. The respective regions of the East, South and Southwest will densify the entire network already available in the other regions: Littoral (Douala); Central (Yaoundé-Nsimalen); North West (Bamenda); North (Garoua); Far North (Maroua); West (Bafoussam) and Adamaoua (Ngaoundéré).

Reference

The African Cup also generated a strong microeconomy. Many Cameroonians invested to open stands around the stadiums. Cameroon is known throughout the world as a football nation with the Indomitable Lions, but other sports are emerging, such as: deep-sea fishing off the coast; golf in Yaoundé and Tiko; rock climbing with the annual ascent of Mount Cameroon; and horse riding with the equestrian clubs of Yaoundé, Douala, and Garoua.
