Cameroon’s World Cup Quest Continues Against Eswatini
Cameroon aims to strengthen its position atop Group D in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers as they face Eswatini at the Mbombela Stadium on Wednesday. The Indomitable Lions currently lead the group with a slender one-point advantage over Libya and Cape Verde.
Cameroon’s Road So Far
The journey began with a commanding 3-0 victory over Mauritius on November 17, followed by a 1-1 draw against Libya. After a disappointing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) exit at the hands of Nigeria, Cameroon returned to form with a win against Cape Verde but were later held to a goalless draw by Angola.
In their recent fixtures, Cameroon has secured five wins out of eight matches across all competitions, suffering only one defeat to the Central African Republic. Their performance has secured them a spot in the upcoming AFCON in Morocco, a chance to redeem their previous underwhelming display that led to the departure of former coach Rigobert Song.
Eswatini’s Struggles
Eswatini, on the other hand, has faced challenges in their qualifying campaign, losing all four of their matches. Their latest defeat came against Mauritius, where despite a goal from Junior Magagula, they couldn’t overcome a two-goal deficit. The team has struggled offensively, netting only three goals in their last ten AFCON and World Cup qualifying matches.
Team News
Cameroon’s squad sees the inclusion of debutants Dany Namaso and Nathan Ngoumou. Midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa has recovered from a calf issue and is available for selection. Captain Vincent Aboubakar is on the brink of history, needing just one goal to equal Roger Milla’s record of 43 international goals, placing him second in Cameroon’s all-time scoring charts.
Eswatini enters the match without new injury or suspension concerns. Forward Sambulo Simelane, who recently led his nation to a friendly victory, will be a player to watch.
