  • Captain & star player: Samuel Eto’o (Chelsea striker, playing his 4th World Cup, known for his lethal skills in tight spaces)

  • Key young player: Vincent Aboubakar (22 years old, striker for FC Lorient, seen as Eto’o’s successor)

  • Rough preparation with bonus issues

  • Sacked former coach Jean Paul Akono, replaced by Finke

  • Qualified by finishing top in group and winning playoff against Tunisia 4-1 in second leg after a draw in Tunisia


Key squad members:

  • Goalkeepers: Charles Itandje, Sammy Ndjock, Loic Fedjou

  • Defenders: Allan Nyom, Cedric Djeugoue, Dany Nounkeu, Aurélien Chedjou, Nicolas Nkoulou, Henri Bedimo, Benoit Assou-Ekotto

  • Midfielders: Enoh Eyong, Jean II Makoun, Joël Matip, Stéphane Mbia, Landry Nguemo, Alexandre Song, Edgar Salli

  • Attackers: Samuel Eto’o, Eric Choupo-Moting, Benjamin Moukandjo, Vincent Aboubakar, Pierre Achille Webo, Fabrice Olinga


Schedule:

  • June 13: Cameroon vs Mexico

  • June 18: Croatia vs Cameroon

Despite doubts from many observers, the strong friendly showing (like the 2-2 draw with Germany) signals that Cameroon could be a surprise in the group. Eto’o’s leadership and form will be crucial, but the team also relies on young talent like Aboubakar and a solid defense.
