« In 2022, our national pennant football team participated in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. This participation ended in elimination in the first round. Frankly, this performance did not meet our expectations. Nevertheless, it is important to note that our Indomitable Lions gave the best of themselves “. In these terms, Samuel Eto’o Son the President of the Cameroon Football Federation (Fécafoot), draws up a balance sheet if not positive, at least not to be completely rejected: “ They were professional all the way Satisfies the new president of FECAFOOT. Cameroon were eliminated in the first round of the World Cup Qatar 2022, with four points of course, but the Indomitable Lions who entered with a defeat (1-0) against Switzerland, then managed to hang Serbia in a 3-3 draw, before ending with a historic victory (1 -0) over Greater Brazil. ” This victory had a special flavor because our Lions thus became the first African nation to win against Brazil in the final phase of the World Cup.», greets Samuel Eto’o Fils. He who, from the top of his superb, has never achieved this feat with the pennant selection.

Thus, the former captain of the indomitable lions believes he has taken revenge for a particularly painful past: in 2010, the man led a team that finished 31st out of 32 nations in South Africa. Only North Korea had missed the opportunity to outclass Cameroon. Four years later, Cameroon could not have done better: three defeats in as many matches. Samuel Eto’o and his teammates had settled for one goal in three games. This unique goal was scored in the third and last outing against Brazil. La Seleçao continued to set their unbeaten record against Africa in the senior football World Cup. And eight years later, the situation had changed: This performance is much better than those of 2010 and 2014“, comments a proud Samuel Eto’o.
Suddenly, the man is convinced that lines have moved in the setbacks of the Indomitable Lions who have been sinking for more than two decades in the depths of the history of African football. ” This competition gave us the opportunity to show that it was possible to organize a preparation worthy of our rank“, welcomes the one whose captaincy has been a dark page in the history of Cameroonian football, with more intrigue than technical performance. But according to Samuel Eto’o, this page is now turned: ” everyone could see that bonus issues are now a distant memory“, notes the new boss of Cameroonian football. Thus, the former “troublemaker” in the Lions believes he has given a new, brighter face to Cameroonian football.
