Cameroon’s full squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup

After missing the 2018 World Cup in Russia, African giants Cameroon will be in Qatar later this year to compete in their eighth World Cup. They qualified for the World Cup in Qatar after defeating one of Africa’s best teams, Algeria, in the playoffs of the World Cup qualifiers.

Their previous best World Cup performance was a quarter-final appearance in 1990 in Italy when they won the hearts of many football fans around the world with their counter-attacking style of play.

Although they have several experienced players in their squad, they will face a tough task to improve their performances this time in Qatar around as they are paired with 5 time world champions favorites Brazil, Serbia, and Switzerland in Group G in what will prove to be a tough group.

Coach

Rigobert Song Bahanag is the present football manager of Cameroon’s national side. In his playing career, he played for many great clubs like Liverpool, and Westham United. Also, he played for Cameroon. He played 137 matches for Cameroon as a captain. So his stats say that as a coach he has the probability to make Cameroon 2022 world champions.
