The Cameroon national football team, also known as the Indomitable Lions, represents Cameroon in international football matches for men. It is managed by the Fédération Camerounaise de Football, which is part of FIFA and the CAF.
The team has played in the FIFA World Cup eight times. This is more than any other African team. They even qualified four times in a row between 1990 and 2002. The Indomitable Lions were the first African team to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 1990. They have also won the Africa Cup of Nations five times.
Cameroon is the first and only African country to beat Brazil in a tournament game. They did this in the 2003 Confederations Cup and again in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Both times, they won with a score of 1-0.

History of the Indomitable Lions
Early Years: 1956–2000
Cameroon played its very first football match in 1956 against Belgian Congo, losing 3–2. They first qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations in 1970. Two years later, in 1972, Cameroon hosted the tournament and finished third.
The team made its first appearance in the FIFA World Cup in 1982. They were in a group with strong teams like Italy and Poland. Cameroon drew all three of their matches, including a 1–1 draw with Italy, who went on to win the World Cup. Even though they didn't lose a game, they didn't score enough goals to move past the first round.
In 1984, Cameroon won its first Africa Cup of Nations title. They beat Nigeria 3–1 in the final.
The 1990 World Cup was a huge moment for Cameroon. They were in a group with Argentina, Romania, and the Soviet Union. Cameroon shocked everyone by beating defending champions Argentina 1–0 in the opening game. They then beat Romania 2–1. In the second round, they defeated Colombia 2–1, with 38-year-old Roger Milla scoring two amazing goals in extra time.
In the quarter-finals, Cameroon played against England. It was a very close game. England scored first, but Cameroon came back to lead 2–1. However, England scored two penalties, winning 3–2 in extra time. This was the first time an African team reached the World Cup quarter-finals.

Cameroon also played in the 1994 World Cup in the United States. They drew with Sweden but lost to Brazil and Russia. In their last game against Russia, Roger Milla, at 42 years old, became the oldest player to play and score in a World Cup match.
At the 1998 World Cup in France, Cameroon was in a tough group. They drew with Chile and Austria but lost to Italy. This tournament was also where a young player named Samuel Eto'o first became known.
After 2000: More Success and Challenges
Cameroon qualified for the 2002 World Cup in Korea-Japan. They drew with the Republic of Ireland and beat Saudi Arabia. However, a loss to Germany meant they were just barely knocked out of the tournament.
In the 2002 African Cup of Nations, Cameroon had a great run. They won all their group games and then beat Egypt and Mali. In the final, they won against Senegal in a penalty shootout, becoming champions of Africa for the second time in a row.
This win qualified them for the 2003 Confederations Cup in France. Here, the Indomitable Lions made history by being the first African country to beat Brazil. They reached the final, but the tournament was marked by a sad event. Cameroon midfielder Marc-Vivien Foé collapsed during a semi-final match and later passed away. The final against France became a tribute to him. France won 1-0, but both teams honored Foé after the game.
Cameroon narrowly missed qualifying for the 2006 World Cup after a late penalty kick was missed in their final qualifying game.
They returned to the World Cup stage in 2010 in South Africa. However, they were the first team to be eliminated from the tournament after losing their first two group matches.
In the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, Cameroon showed great strength. They made it through the group stage and then beat Senegal in a penalty shootout in the quarter-finals. They went on to defeat Ghana in the semi-finals. On 5 February 2017, Cameroon won their fifth African Cup of Nations title by beating seven-time champions Egypt 2–1 in the final. Vincent Aboubakar scored the winning goal in the last minute.
Cameroon qualified for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar in a very exciting way. They won their final qualifying match against Algeria with a goal in the 124th minute! In the World Cup, they made history again by beating Brazil 1–0. This was Brazil's first group stage loss since 1998. Even with this big win, Cameroon did not advance from their group.
The team also qualified for the AfCoN 2023 (played in January 2024). They secured their spot in the last game with goals from Bryan Mbeumo, Christopher Wooh, and Vincent Aboubakar.
