Cameroon: A player from Brazil's sixth division called up as reinforcement for AFCON 2025
  • David Pagou, the head coach of Cameroon, has called up a player from Brazil's sixth division as a reinforcement for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco. This decision comes as the team prepares for the tournament with a mix of experienced and less conventional players.
  • The inclusion of a player from a lower division highlights Pagou's strategy to explore diverse talent pools, potentially bringing fresh energy to the squad amid recent controversies, including the exclusion of key players.
  • This move reflects a broader trend in football where teams are increasingly looking beyond traditional leagues for talent, especially in light of recent upheavals in the Cameroonian squad, including the dropping of established players and the sacking of the previous coach.
