Cameroon-Gabon: Indomitable Lions’ AFCON Performance Analyzed

“I am a military child, so we will try to restore discipline, try to give another image to this team, because the Cameroonians, you know, all are proud of their team…” Fifth local coach to lead Cameroon during a CAN, David Pagou (56), appointed three weeks ago, places a lot of emphasis “on the state of mind” in each of his speeches. As if to signal the end of recess.

For a year and a half, Cameroon has shown the whole world a deplorable image against a backdrop of conflict between the former Belgian coach Marc Brys, appointed in April 2024 by the Minister of Sports Narcisse Mouelle Kombi, and the star Samuel Eto’o, president of Fécafoot (Cameroon Football Federation).
