Football: Enzo Ebosse returns to Cameroon squad after four years

Enzo Ebosse has returned to the Cameroon national team nearly four years after his last appearance, in December 2022 at the World Cup in Qatar. The defender is taking part in preparations for the next two 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches, according to statements reported by Actu Cameroun.

Cameroon defender Enzo Ebosse returns to the Indomitable Lions squad after nearly four years away, with his last appearance for the national team dating back to December 2022 at the World Cup in Qatar. The player said he was “very happy to be back with the Lions”.

The return comes days before the third round of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, which Cameroon approaches with the aim of securing the wins needed to move closer to qualification. “We have two important matches. We have to win to qualify for the next Africa Cup of Nations,” Enzo Ebosse said.

Cameroon are coming off a draw against Congo on 29 September 2026 in the qualifiers and must deal with absences as they will face, in particular, Namibia, which has called up 22 players for the encounter.
