The Yaoundé military stadium will host another clash between Colombe Sportive du Dja et Lobo and Panthère Sportive du Ndé this Thursday, February 26, 2026, for the 2025 Champions Trophy. This match, pitting the Cameroonian champion against the Cup winner, promises to be a highlight for Cameroonian football fans, as a prelude to the 2025 Ballon d'Or ceremony scheduled for the following day in the capital.

Colombe Sportive du Dja et Lobo, crowned champion of the MTN Elite One championship, will be looking to take revenge on Panthère Sportive du Ndé, who denied them the double by winning the 2025 Cameroon Cup. The two teams know each other well and have already met on several occasions, notably in the Cameroon Cup final on December 14, 2025, when Panthère won on penalties (3-1) after a 1-1 draw.

The coaches, Richard Towa for Colombe and Yves Clément Aroga for Panthère, meet again for a new tactical showdown. While both technicians know each other inside out, their respective teams have had contrasting starts to the season. Colombe have a mixed record of two wins, two defeats and two draws in six matches. Panthère, on the other hand, are in a modest 7th place with three defeats.

Despite these difficulties in the league, both teams will be keen to win this Champions Trophy, which is the last title of the 2025 edition. This match represents an opportunity to bounce back and start the season on a positive note. The stakes are therefore high for both teams, who will have to give their best to secure victory.

The outcome of this top-of-the-table clash remains uncertain, but one thing is certain: the Cameroonian sporting public will have their eyes glued to the Yaoundé military stadium this Thursday, to witness what promises to be a thrilling match.
