Cameroon’s goalkeeper, André Onana, has stated that the most important thing for players is to play for Cameroon. Onana made this statement during a pre-match press conference on September 6 in Garoua, the North Region of Cameroon.
Responding to questions from reporters, Onana, who accompanied the coach, Marc Brys, said, “Hierarchically, our leader is the coach. As players, we follow Marc Brys. We don’t take sides. The most important thing for us is to play for Cameroon.”
Onana further added, “There’s a lot being said. I’m used to that. There’s a lot of manipulation and misinformation. Tomorrow, we’ll prove that we are professionals. The most important thing is the team.”
Concerning controversy surrounding the choice of the stadium, Onana said, players don’t choose where to play. “We only execute, and if we’re told to go and play in Bamenda, we will go.”
Cameroon will face Namibia on September 7 in the opening qualifying match of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) to take place in Morocco. They will later face Zimbabwe in the second day of play.
