In the semi-final, Cameroon lost to Burkina Faso 9-1 in a tough encounter. The Lions equally lost their third group game against Kenya 5-3. 
The President of the Cameroon Floorball Association, Elise Flore Kana said the good news from the African Floorball Cup is that the trophy for the best player in the competition went to Cameroon’s Boris Ndatchoua. Apart from that, Cameroon won the medal for the best participating team. For a first participation, Cameroon reached the semi-finals and they finished on the fourth spot behind Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire and Kenya.
