Cameroon

The Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) has rejected an offer of resignation from its president Samuel Eto’o. Eto’o, 42, offered his resignation during a meeting of Fecafoot’s executive in Yaounde on Monday night, in which the former striker requested for other members of the board to also offer their resignations ‘in good faith’. The meeting was held as an evaluation of Cameroon’s performance at the men’s Africa Cup of Nations, in which they won just one of their four matches and exited at the round of 16 stage after a two-goal defeat against...

The AFCON group stage is over — and this is the state of play ahead of the knockout stages

The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations has been packed full of drama already, but it reached new heights on Tuesday as Cameroon and The Gambia exchanged four goals — one disallowed — in about 10 minutes in a chaotic finish to Group C. The week began with drama in Group B, with Ghana, whose elimination was confirmed on Tuesday, conceding twice in stoppage time against Mozambique to throw away a 2-0 lead. The rollercoaster ride that is this season’s AFCON continued apace a day later. A few hours before Algeria were eliminated, five-time winners Cameroon needed a victory over The Gambia to...

Andre Onana has been dropped to the bench for Cameroon’s crucial Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) group-stage fixture against The Gambia. Onana missed his nation’s opening AFCON game against Guinea on January 15 after arriving late to the tournament, having played for Manchester United against Tottenham Hotspur the day before. The goalkeeper did then start Cameroon’s second match — a 3-1 defeat to Group C leaders Senegal. Fabrice Ondoa — who deputised for Onana in the 1-1 draw against Guinea — will make his second start in the tournament against The Gambia. Cameroon are...

Welcome to The Radar, The Athletic's pick of 24 players to watch out for at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana will travel to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) straight after their meeting with Tottenham Hotspur on January 14, thanks to an amicable agreement being reached between all parties. The 27-year-old Cameroon international will now be able to play in United’s FA Cup third-round tie against Wigan Athletic on Monday, before they welcome Spurs to Old Trafford six days later. Onana is then scheduled to immediately depart for the tournament in Ivory Coast and be available to represent his country, who face Guinea in their opening match on...

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has been included in Cameroon’s 27-man squad for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Onana had retired from international duty last year following a disagreement with Samuel Eto’o, the president of the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot), at the World Cup in Qatar. Erik ten Hag said earlier this month that United were “in talks” to allow Onana to play for Cameroon in AFCON, adding that “he has to go” if they call him. However, while he has been called up to the squad, it is currently unclear whether Onana will choose to...

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana says he is unhappy with his performances since his summer transfer — but believes he and the club will improve with time. Onana arrived from Inter Milan for €51million (£43.9m, $57.4m) plus €4m in add-ons but several costly errors have led to criticism early on in his United career. The 27-year-old was a top performer for Inter in last season’s run to the Champions League final especially, but this week could do nothing to prevent United from finishing bottom of their group and going without European football for the second half of the...

Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo will be out for 12 weeks with an ankle injury and will miss the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast with Cameroon. Mbeumo sustained the injury during Brentford’s 2-1 loss against Brighton & Hove Albion last week, with head coach Thomas Frank later confirming that he expected the 24-year-old to be out for “weeks” with what he thought was ligament damage. “Operation today in the ankle,” Frank said on Friday. “Out for 12 weeks. So that will affect his Africa Cup of Nations. He will not participate.

Onana could miss a month of Manchester United's season because of the Africa Cup of Nations, but his situation is far from straightforward
