Latest Mauritius vs Cameroon team information
Mauritius coach Moullec has announced a list of 28 players, with the return of Kevin Bru and two new players Leon Alizart and Mathieu Etrange.
The squad also includes Yannick Aristide, William Francois, Adrien Botlar, and strikers Cooper Legrand and Linley Rita.
On the Cameroon side, coach Marc Brys called up 26 players, in which captain Vincent Aboubakar – although currently without a club – is still the main spearhead and is the top scorer in the qualifying round with 4 goals. He is supported by Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, who has 2 assists.
Levante striker Karl Etta Eyong received his first senior call-up after scoring four goals in La Liga, while defender Junior Tchamadeu returned to defence.
However, central defender pair Christopher Wooh and Enzo Boyomo were both absent, creating a gap in the back line.
Cameroon's midfield is still very strong with Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa (Napoli) starting, alongside Carlos Baleba and Martin Hongla, while the goalkeeper position is likely to belong to Andre Onana - who will start instead of Devis Epassy and Simon Omossola.

Latest football commentary Mauritius vs Cameroon
Mauritius is second from bottom in Group D with only 5 points after 8 matches, officially no longer having a chance to compete for a ticket to the World Cup.
The team has only one win – a 2-1 win over Eswatini in June 2024 – along with two draws and five defeats.
Coach Guillaume Moullec and his team have only scored 7 goals but have conceded 15 times, showing that they are having difficulty both in attack and defense. In fact, Mauritius have not won in their last 10 matches in all competitions, and their head-to-head record is even more pessimistic, having lost all 5 previous matches against Cameroon.
On the opponent side, "The Indomitable Lions" Cameroon are currently second in the table with 15 points, 4 points behind the top team Cape Verde.
Coach Marc Brys' team understands that if they lose this match, their hope of winning the top spot in the table will almost disappear, and they will only have the path to the play-off round.
Cameroon’s only defeat in this qualifying round came in their last encounter – a 1-0 defeat to Cape Verde in Yaounde after a Dailon Livramento strike. That result put them under huge pressure heading into their final two games.
Despite having the strongest attack in the group with 15 goals, Cameroon still has to be wary of recent instability. However, Mauritius not keeping a clean sheet in 6 consecutive matches has given the visitors more confidence in their attacking prowess.
The five-time African champions are aiming for their ninth World Cup finals appearance. They are currently among the best runners-up in their group, but their primary target is to qualify directly by winning their remaining two games.
