Samuel Eto'o confident Cameroon will win 2022 World Cup

Published on: 10 November 2022

Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT) President Samuel Eto'o is highly optimistic the West African country will win the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. 

Cameroon have been drawn in Group G alongside Brazil, Serbia and Switzerland.

The tournament will kick off on November 20 with hosts Qatar taking on Ecuador in a Group A opener at Al Bayt Stadium.

"Africa has always had the potential to achieve a successful World Cup, but we haven't always shown our best face up to now," Eto'o told ESPN.

"During the years, African teams have acquired more and more experience, and I think they're ready not only to participate in a World Cup, but also to win it.

"Cameroun will win the World Cup final against Morocco."

No country from Africa has ever made it past the quarter-finals, with only Cameroun (1990), Senegal (2002) and Ghana (2010) ever making it beyond the last 16 stage.

The Lions of Teranga will be the first African team to take the stage against Netherlands in a Group B fixture at Al Thumama Stadium on November 21.
