Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe has confirmed his international future lies with Cameroon, putting to rest any lingering uncertainty over his allegiance to the Indomitable Lions.
The Brest midfielder made clear that his choice was never in doubt, insisting his connection to Cameroon has always been natural and unquestioned.
“It’s my country. I never minded playing for Cameroon. It was just a matter of timing.”
Dina Ebimbe’s statement follows renewed attention around his international status, after a period during which his future with the national team had been the subject of speculation.
The player has now firmly reasserted his position, underlining that his decision was guided by personal conviction rather than hesitation or external pressure.
Central to that decision, he explained, was a direct conversation with Cameroon’s new technical leadership. Dina Ebimbe revealed that discussions with head coach David Pagou played a decisive role in clarifying expectations and reinforcing mutual trust.
“I spoke with the coach when he was appointed. He explained his vision to me and the message was well received.”
The exchange, according to the midfielder, helped align his ambitions with the direction set out by the new coaching staff, paving the way for his continued involvement with the national side.
Dina Ebimbe is no stranger to the Cameroonian set-up. He previously represented the Indomitable Lions at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, where Cameroon reached the quarter-finals before being eliminated.
That tournament marked an important chapter in his international journey and remains a reference point in his commitment to the national team.
Now settled in his stance, the Brest player’s comments signal stability at a time when Cameroon are looking to consolidate their squad under new leadership.
His public reaffirmation offers clarity both to supporters and to the coaching staff as preparations continue for future international challenges.
By stating his position so plainly, Dina Ebimbe has drawn a line under the debate, presenting his choice as a straightforward expression of identity rather than a calculated career move.
