I want to share with you the main sport activity in my country. I am Cameroonian, and in my country, we have the possibility to practise many types of sports. Almost everyone across the world knows that Cameroonians are good soccer players and we are very proud on it. We have won the African Cup of Nations five times and we are the first African nation who attended the quarter-finals of the soccer world cup. Cameroonian soccer players are also in the best teams in the world. For example, Samuel Eto’o has played in Barcelona football club, Milan AC and Real Madrid. Andre Onana is still the goal keeper of Manchester United. The father of Kilian Mbappe is Cameroonian and recently, many genetic analyses are shown that the ancestors of Vinicius Junior were Cameroonian, from Bankim and he spoke Tikar, one of the languages in in the Adamawa region. Finally, I think that Cameroon is a soccer country.
