Cameroon coach Otto Pfister rubbished rumors indicating that Rigobert Song will be stripped of captaincy in the African Cup of Nations. "There are rumors and people who say that are not from Cameroon," Pfister was quoted as saying by Cameroon Tribune. "As long as I'm in charge, Song will remain the captain. People who are spreading these untrue rumors are trying to destabilize the team." The Galatasaray defender has been a key figure in Cameroon's squad for over a decade. He is the most capped player in Cameroon's history as he made 106 international appearances with the Indomitable Lions so far. Cameroon head to Ghana to begin their quest for a record-equaling fifth CAN title. They received encouragement from the country's Prime Minister Ephraim Inoni. "You will be going to Ghana to write your names in the beautiful pages of Cameroon's football history," he said after meeting the players on Friday. Cameroon open their campaign against defending champions Egypt in Kumasi on Tuesday.
