The Cameroonian Football Federation (CAMFOOT) has submitted an extensive list featuring 55 players, in anticipation of their upcoming campaign in the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN 2024).
A noteworthy surprise in the preliminary selection is the inclusion of forward Didier Lamkel Zé, who has made a significant impact in the current Turkish championship.
Lamkel Zé, hailing from Bertoua, showcased his prowess in 14 appearances for Hatayspor this season, contributing 3 goals and 3 assists.
Versatile across all three attacking positions—right and left wings, and center forward—Lamkel Zé presents a dynamic profile that could prove valuable for Rigobert Song, the coach of the “Indomitable Lions.”
It’s worth noting that Lamkel Zé has only featured once for the Cameroonian national team, appearing in the match against Cape Verde during the qualifiers for the 2021 African Cup of Nations.
Cameroon, eyeing its sixth crown in the African Cup of Nations (CAN), boasts previous victories in 1984, 1988, 2000, 2002, and 2017.
The draw for the 34th edition of CAN has placed the “Indomitable Lions” in Pool C, alongside Senegal, Guinea, and Gambia.
As anticipation builds for the tournament, the surprise inclusion of Didier Lamkel Zé adds an intriguing element to Cameroon’s roster, offering Coach Rigobert Song an additional offensive dimension in their quest for continental glory.
