Soccer-Nations Cup more intense than World Cup, says Cameroon coach


LIBREVILLE (Reuters) - The African Nations Cup will provide more intense competition than at the World Cup as there are no weak teams in Gabon, Cameroon coach Hugo Broos said on Friday.

“I was a player at the World Cup but this is more intense than that. It is something special. This is Africa,” said the former Belgian international who was a member of the team which finished fourth in Mexico in 1986.
