The President of the Cameroon Football Federation, Samuel Eto’o is confident that the indomitable lions of Cameroon will win the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
According to the former Cameroon striker, Cameroon have all it takes to become the first African country to win the World Cup.
“Cameroon will qualify for the World Cup final and we will beat Morocco in the final and win the title at Lusail Stadium”. He said
Cameroon have competed at more World Cups than any African country, starting in Spain in 1982 when they achieved the rare feat of being unbeaten in their three group games but failed to reach the next stage.
On their second appearance in 1990, they became the first African country to make the quarter-finals on a heady run led by 38-year-old striker Roger Milla. They beat holders Argentina in the opening game of the tournament in Milan and then Romania before ousting Colombia in the last 16 but were eliminated by England after extra time.
However, in five subsequent World Cup appearances they have won only once – against Saudi Arabia in Japan 20 years ago.
Cameroon is in Group G alongside Switzerland, Serbia and five times World champions, Brazil.
The indomitable lions will open their world cup campaign against Switzerland on November 24th at the Al-Janoub Stadium
