Vincent Aboubakar has been named in Cameroon’s starting line-up as the Indomitable Lions prepare to face Equatorial Guinea in an international friendly scheduled for 8:00 PM GMT.
Head coach Marc Brys has opted for a blend of experience and emerging talent for the fixture, the second match for Cameroon in the June 2025 FIFA international window.
The encounter offers another opportunity for the Belgian tactician to assess his squad ahead of upcoming competitive engagements.
Veteran forward Aboubakar, who captains the team, spearheads the attack and will look to bring his trademark physical presence and finishing ability to the fore.
The 32-year-old remains a pivotal figure for the national side and will be aiming to inspire a positive result against a resilient Equatorial Guinea outfit.
Between the posts, Devis Epassy retains his spot, providing a steady presence in goal.
The backline is anchored by Jean Charles Castelletto and Enzo Flavien Boyomo, with Mahamadou Nagida and Guy Marcelin Kilama completing the defensive quartet.
This defensive setup combines youth with seasoned campaigners, reflecting Brys’ intent to build a balanced unit.
In midfield, the selection of Jean Onana, Wility Younoussa, and Arthur Avom suggests a dynamic central trio capable of both shielding the defence and launching attacks.
Their ability to control the tempo and transition play will be key against an Equatoguinean side known for its physicality and pace on the break.
Patrick Soko and Florent Batoum are tasked with providing width and penetration from the flanks, supplying service to Aboubakar while stretching the opposing defence.
Both players bring energy and technical ability, and will be expected to contribute both in attack and defensively.
The full starting line-up for Cameroon is as follows:
Starting XI:
- Devis Epassy (No. 16)
- Enzo Flavien Boyomo (No. 22)
- Jean Charles Castelletto (No. 21)
- Mahamadou Nagida (No. 6)
- Guy Marcelin Kilama (No. 3)
- Jean Onana (No. 17)
- Wility Younoussa (No. 15)
- Arthur Avom (No. 8)
- Patrick Soko (No. 20)
- Florent Batoum (No. 7)
- Vincent Aboubakar (C) (No. 10)
The match offers Cameroon an important test of depth and cohesion under Brys, who continues to shape his vision for the national team.
With Aboubakar leading the charge, the Indomitable Lions will be eager to deliver a performance that reflects their pedigree and ambition on the continental stage.
