THE CAMEROON FOOTBALL/ SOCCER TEAM.

The Cameroon football team or soccer team was founded in 1959 and at that time, it was managed by Denis Lavagne. They practise at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaoundé. The league at that time was the Confederation of African Football. Cameroon football team is known as the “Indomitable Lions of Cameroon.” It is under the control of the Cameroon Federation Football. This team has qualified six times for the Fifa World Cup more than any African team, the first time being in 1982. Cameroon was the first African team to reach quarter finals of the world cup in 1990. However, they lose to England during the extra time The Cameroon team won the first African Cup in 1984 by beating Nigeria 3-1. This team has won the African Cup of Nations four times.

 The Cameroon Football or soccer team will not be going to the African Cup of Nations in 2013 as they lose to Cape Verde a country that qualified for the tournament for the first time. One of the reasons for this team failure is that it has been poorly managed for the past ten years and the players have not yet received all their due payment for the past matches.

Even though, this is a big disappointment to many Cameroonian who are football fans, they hope one day, the Cameroon football team or soccer team will become one of the strongest teams again in Africa.
