Ahead of next month's meeting, the Coach Djeumfa has summoned 25 home-based players for a local training session. The Lionesses are training in their hideout in Yaounde.

The gathering is the fifth for the Lionesses after they lost to the Copper Queens of Zambia in the fifth round of qualifiers despite emerging victorious in the first leg.

On Alain Djeumfa’s list are four goalkeepers, seven defenders, seven midfielders and seven forwards. Prominent on the list are Tokyo University's Djuka Chanelle, Charlene Meyong, who recently joined Chinese side Meizhou, Eclair Filles de Sa’a's Alexander Takounda, and Ebolowa FC's Edjangue Siliki. For three weeks, Alain Djeumfa and the players will be working out winning strategies in order to secure a place for the Olympics. Sources close to the team say the list of players will be trimmed after the camp ahead of their trip to Turkey
