Etta Eyong Reveals His Reasons for Choosing Cameroon as His Destination

Karl Etta Eyong, a 22-year-old striker from Cameroon, has expressed his unwavering commitment to his country. He was called up by Marc Brys for the African qualifiers of the 2026 World Cup. With 5 goals and 3 assists this season at Levante, Etta Eyong has emerged as one of La Liga’s standout youngsters. Known for his speed and goal-scoring ability, he has caught the attention of several European teams, including Spain. However, Etta Eyong made his intentions clear when he said, “Choosing Spain? That wouldn’t interest me; my heart is with Cameroon. Even if the president of Spain came to me and said, ‘please join us,’ I would respectfully decline and choose with my heart.” His strong stance reinforces his loyalty to the Indomitable Lions and his roots.

Now, Etta Eyong is ready to represent Cameroon in a tough African battle. The team will face the Democratic Republic of the Congo in their first match, with potential showdowns against strong rivals like Nigeria or Gabon in a crucial quest for the final African spot in the 2026 World Cup. He stated, “Nigeria was dangerous before, but now it doesn’t matter which of the three we face; we will beat them.”
