The 2000 Generation of the indomitable lions of Cameroon will play a friendly encounter against the same generation of the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Limbe, South West region of Cameroon.
The friendly match to hold on the sidelines of the Plantain-Banana festival will take place on Thursday November 30, 2023.
Surprisingly, some players who made their name during that generation and were instrumental in Cameroon winning the 2000 Africa Nations cup have been left out of the list of players to take part in the match.
Patrick Mboma who scored in the AFCON 2000 final, Geremi Sorel Njitap, Pierre Beyaka, Lauren Etame who took penalties amongst others have been left out for reasons not disclosed. It’s unclear if the current atmosphere between FECAFOOT and SYNAFOC led by Geremi could have influenced the decision.
