Cameroon will be appearing at their first African Nations Championship finals, after surprisingly failing to qualify for the inaugural event in Cote d'Ivoire in 2009.
They are part of a tough pool in Sudan, having been drawn in Group C with defending champions DR Congo, Mali and Cote d'Ivoire.
Coach Emmanuel Doumbe named his 23-man squad after a training camp that involved 35 players selected from the MTN Elite One.
The side will be led on the pitch by Tiko United midfielder Valentine Atem, who does have some overseas experience having played in Germany and Ghana in the past.
