The Moroccan adventure is gaining momentum for Cameroon. After their brilliant qualification against South Africa, Samuel Eto'o Fils' protégés are preparing to take another step forward, both sportingly and financially.

A historic victory against Bafana Bafana

The Indomitable Lions secured their place in the continental top 8 with a commanding 2-1 victory against South Africa, thanks to goals from Tchamadeu and the breakout star Kofane . Cameroon thus ended a curse: the curse of early eliminations in the round of 16, a fate they suffered in 2019 and 2024.

Led by a masterful Carlos Baleba in midfield, Marc Brys' men have regained a position worthy of their standing.

The jackpot: 18 million CFA francs per player

The team's performance on the pitch is also bearing fruit off it. In accordance with the performance bonus scale set by FECAFOOT , each player on the national team will receive 18,180,000 CFA francs for qualifying for the quarterfinals. This will provide extra motivation before facing the host nation.

A clash is expected against Morocco.

The next challenge promises to be monumental: a duel against the Atlas Lions . Having narrowly qualified against Tanzania (1-0), Morocco will be eager to avenge their defeat, 37 years after their elimination by Cameroon in the semi-finals of the 1988 Africa Cup of Nations, also on home soil.
