6 days to go: Team Cameroon Loop Barbados

Black Immigrant Daily News

We are six days away from the first post COVID-19 FIFA World Cup.

Qatar will be the center of attention for four weeks, as the world’s best football nations showcase their skills and talents to over a billion spectators.

Cameroon will be one such nation making their appearance at the 22nd FIFA World Cup, their eighth overall, the most by any African team.

The “Indomitable Lions” have been setting the trend for African football since the early 90’s when they qualified for their first World Cup in 1990 and went to the quarterfinals of that tournament. The first African team to reach so far.

With five African Cup of Nations titles and an Olympic gold medal, Cameroon is one of the most respected teams from the African continent.

Their presence at the World Cup is always felt via their dynamic playing style and flashy dance move celebrations.

After missing the last edition of the tournament in Russia, Cameroon will be hoping to make their return, a productive one.
