This is not just your common clash, this is the a battle for supremacy between the most decorated club in Cameroon, Coton Sport of Garoua versus the most supported/ most fan base club in Cameroon, Bamboutos FC of Mbouda.

A win for Coton Sport will see the Cotoners increase their Cameroon Cup tally to 7, while a win for the Mangwa boys of Mbouda will be their first major title since the club was founded. Bamboutos FC Succumbed to APAJES Academy in a 2-0 lose in the finals of the Cameroon Cup 2016.
The seventeen (17) times MTN Elite One champion, Coton Sport could be without two of their prodigal sons (Wassou Patient and Kaiba Djawal ) who could kill the game as early for them as the first half.
Reports from FECAFOOT suggest that they have been called up to join the U23 Lions training camp which will run from 30th of September to 20th of October before facing Angola in the U23 African nations cup qualifiers.
It was thanks to a first half brilliance and a goal from Wassou Patient against Union Sportive of Douala in the Cameroon Cup Semi finals that the secured a 2-0 (with second goal coming from Youssoufa) victory and progressed to the Cameroon cup final.
However they [Coton Sport] have still got their monster killer, Souaibou Marou who could close the game with a blink of an eye.
