Team Cameroon is organised by ASAFE a registered NGO working in education and financial support for socially excluded women from rural areas, including micro financing. They operate in Douala and Bafang in the West Province of Cameroon with 70 players. They began their street soccer development programme in 2004 working with male players until 2007 when they switched to focus on bringing the benefits of football to women and will present an all women team at the Melbourne 2008 Homeless World Cup. Their goal is to spread street soccer development activities to other cities and they require sports equipment to do this. World Ranking: Copenhagen 2007 - 8th; Cape Town 2006 - 6th
