The Cameroon national football team, known as the Indomitable Lions, is gearing up for a crucial encounter against Mauritius this Wednesday in the ninth round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup African qualifiers. The match holds great significance for Cameroon, who are eager to close the gap on Group D leaders Cape Verde and keep their qualification hopes alive.
With four points separating them from the top, Cameroon’s mission is clear — nothing less than victory will suffice. The five-time African champions have been one of the continent’s most consistent teams historically, and they’ll be determined to show their pedigree once again on foreign soil.
⚽ A History of Total Dominance
The numbers paint a clear picture: Cameroon has won all five previous meetings against Mauritius, scoring freely and conceding rarely. Their last encounter came in November 2023, when Cameroon cruised to a 3-0 victory, courtesy of goals from Brian Mboumou, Georges-Kévin Nkoudou, and Franck Magri.
Under coach Marc Breeze, the Indomitable Lions have been focusing on rebuilding confidence and sharpening their attack. With a mix of experienced veterans and emerging young talents, Cameroon is expected to field a strong lineup capable of controlling the game from start to finish.
