Cameroon’s status as one of the giants of the African game is secure as they seek to qualify for a sixth World Cup finals in South Africa.

The Indomitable Lions won fans all over the world after becoming the first African side to reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup finals at Italia 90 on the back of the exploits of 38-year-old Roger Milla.

They played in their first finals at the 1982 finals in Spain, following that up with appearances in 1990, 1994, 1998 and 2002, though they were absent from the 2006 tournament in Germany.

They also have four Africa Cup of Nations titles to their credit after successes in 1984, 1988, 2000 and 2002, and were losing finalists in the 2008 instalment in Ghana when they went down 1-0 to Egypt in the decider.

The side has been hampered in recent years by the rotation of coaches as 10 tacticians have led the country in the last nine years, with the German Otto Pfister the latest to step down.

The side is made up of experienced European stars such as Samuel Eto’o, Rigobert Song, Carlos Kameni, Geremi and Jean Makoun, players with impeccable reputations in world football.
