The leaders of Beninese football have definitively buried the Squirrels. The Beninese football team has a new name. And it’s not the Ratels as suggested for months. The leaders chose the Cheetahs.
The president of the Beninese Football Federation (FBF), Mathurin de Chacus made the information public this Saturday, August 20, 2022, the day of the election of the new executive committee of the FBF.
In recent years, many fans had demanded the change of nickname, believing that a Squirrel was too soft to win a CAN.
Remember that Benin has never even won an African Cup of Nations match.
