Winner of the African Cup of Nations five times, including the last time in 2017, Cameroon begins the 2025 edition in a troubled context. After thanking his coach Marc Brys, just three weeks before the start of the CAN, Samuel Eto’o, president of the federation, appointed David Pagou, to take his place… He will be responsible for leading a revised selection as far as possible in the competition, which starts for him this Wednesday in Agadir with a first match against Gabon.

The Indomitable Lions will have to move forward without some of their executives from recent seasons, in open conflict with Eto’o, including André Onana, Michael Ngadeu and Vincent Aboubakar. Facing them, Gabon (78th in the FIFA rankings, compared to 57th for Cameroon) is also not reaching its maximum potential: for this first match, the Panthers will have to do without Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, injured with Olympique de Marseille.
Kick-off of the Cameroon-Gabon match is scheduled for 9 p.m. this Wednesday, December 24. The meeting will be followed live on television on beIN Sports 1 and live with commentary on our website leparisien.fr.
