AFCON: Samuel Eto’o celebrates as Cameroon face Nigeria in Round of 16

Samuel Eto’o, the president of the Cameroon Football Federation, was captured celebrating with players and coaches of the national team after their qualification for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations Round of 16.

The jubilant scene unfolded on Tuesday night in the dressing room following Cameroon’s thrilling 3-2 victory over Gambia in their final Group C match.

A viral video on social media captured Eto’o actively joining the celebration, dancing and embracing each player in a display of camaraderie and joy.

The Indomitable Lions’ qualification sets the stage for a high-stakes clash with Nigeria in the Round of 16.
Recall that the Super Eagles secured the second spot in Group A, finishing behind Equatorial Guinea.

Nigeria and Cameroon faced each other in the same stage of the tournament in 2019 in Egypt, with Nigeria emerging victorious in a closely contested match with a 3-2 scoreline.
