We\u2019re fortunate to be hosting Cameroon, who are battling for first place with Cape Verde. So, our main goal is to finish this qualifying campaign on a positive note and, if possible, pick up a few more points. We want to give our supporters something to cheer about.\u201d\u2014 Guillaume Moullec, Coach of Mauritius<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Recent Meeting and Historical Context<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the reverse fixture, Cameroon secured a 3\u20130 win in Yaound\u00e9, continuing their strong record in the group.<\/p>\n<p>The Indomitable Lions have historically dominated the match-up. The last time Cameroon visited Mauritius was during the 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign in October 2008, when they cruised to a 5\u20130 victory at the Stade Anjalay. Among the scorers that day was Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who netted his first senior international goal for Cameroon.<\/p>\n<p>Cameroon, currently level on points with Cape Verde at the top of Group D, are expected to name a strong side as they look to take control of the group heading into the final round. For Mauritius, the emphasis will be on showing progress and pride in front of their home crowd.<\/p>\n<p>The match will be played at the C\u00f4te d\u2019Or National Sports Complex in Port Louis on 8 October 2025, with kick-off scheduled for 16:00 local time (13:00 GMT).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92025 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
