“We are ready for Nigeria” — Cameroon Striker promises

As the much-anticipated Round of 16 clash looms at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, Cameroon forward Faris Moumbagna has emphasized that the Indomitable Lions are fueled with determination for their upcoming battle against perennial rivals Nigeria.

Under the guidance of coach Rigobert Song, Cameroon has faced a somewhat lackluster start to their AFCON campaign, managing to secure qualification from their group with one win and two draws.

As the four-time champions gear up for a crucial knockout stage encounter against the Super Eagles, they recognize the need to elevate their performance to secure a victory.

Moumbagna, who plies his trade with Olympic Marseille, expressed the team’s positive mindset and readiness for the challenge during a press conference in Abidjan.

“We prepared well, the atmosphere was good in the group. We are going to stay in the same state of mind and continue to give the best of us,” said the determined forward.

Highlighting the team’s commitment to the upcoming fixture, Moumbagna stated, “We are going to approach this match with 200% effort. We are going to give everything on the pitch like we did against Gambia; we are not going to give up.”

With the Round of 16 clash set to take place at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan on Saturday, the Indomitable Lions are poised to bring their A-game against the Super Eagles.
