Unfortunately, it didn&#8217;t happen under Rigobert Song as a section of fans have it that the player wasn&#8217;t interested at the time.<\/p>\n<p>It is hoped that the new project in players and the approach of players selection will entice the player to return to international football which he hasn&#8217;t been part of since December 2020 when he last featured for the U-17 national team.<\/p>\n<p>Meeting Baleba will add to the list of players he has held talks with in preparations for the June FIFA window and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Brys was appointed to replace Rigobert Song only last month but has since met Jean Charles Castelleto, Andre Onana Onana, Ignatius Ganago amongst others.<\/p>\n<p>Brys&#8217; Cameroon are currently top of Group D of African qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, following a win over Mauritius and an away draw with Libya.<\/p>\n<p>Cameroon&#8217;s Sports Minister Narcisse Mouelle Kombi said the mission for coach Brys is to qualify the Lions for the upcoming FIFA World Cup and ensure their commendable performance at the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92024 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
