Cameroon - World Cup Profile
Take a closer look at Cameroon ahead of Qatar 2022.
Road to Qatar 2022
A dramatic extra-time winner from Karl Toko Ekambi earned Cameroon their place at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar via away goals.
Cameroon overturned a 1-0 first leg deficit against Algeria to seal their eight World Cup appearance, despite protests from Algerian supporters due to the winning goal being scored 4 minutes after the 120-minute mark.
Manager Rigobert Song will be under no real pressure to deliver greatness, however the Cameroonian supporters will demand nothing less than 100% as they seek to progress from Group G.

Player to watch
Bayern Munich's Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, 33, goes to Qatar in outstanding form having scored in seven consecutive matches for the German giants in all competitions. Born in Hamburg to a Cameroonian father and German mother, he has a point to prove at the World Cup after being largely ignored during the Cup of Nations this year. Choupo-Moting was furious at being left out of the quarter-final and semi-final starting line-ups and accused Conceicao of being "disrespectful". He began his senior career with Hamburg, played for three other German clubs and spent time at Stoke City and Paris Saint-Germain before joining Bayern two years ago.
