Marc Brys and his technical staff are already working to prepare for the matches of the Cameroonian national team against Cape Verde and Angola in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Brys’ appointment as the new head coach of the Cameroonian national team, the Indomitable Lions, on April 2nd, has sparked a series of tensions within the Cameroonian football world. Since his appointment, the Belgian has not yet had the opportunity to personally meet Samuel Eto’o, a meeting that was initially scheduled for May 7th. This delay has been marked by turmoil and disagreements between sports authorities and Fecafoot, creating a tense atmosphere behind the scenes of Cameroonian football.
Meanwhile, Marc Brys remains focused on his task, actively preparing for the upcoming matches against Cape Verde and Angola, which are crucial in the qualifications for the 2026 World Cup. After a European tour where he was able to interact with a significant number of Cameroonian footballers playing abroad, the coach-selector of the Indomitable Lions is now in Cameroon.
The focus is now on briefing to harmonize the list of players scouted based on their profiles. The Belgian technician and his assistants will publish a list of pre-selected players in the coming days for the double confrontation against Cape Verde and Angola next June. The final list will be known around mid-May. This double confrontation is crucial. Fans are impatient because since Cameroon’s elimination in the 2023 AFCON, the Indomitable Lions have not played any matches.
Despite the tensions and uncertainties, Brys continues to work to best prepare the Cameroonian national team for these upcoming challenges. The Belgian knows he is highly anticipated. Appointed in an environment far from stable, he is determined to make his mark in the den. His first list of players will give an idea of the playing style he wants to implement.
