The Cameroon national football team represents Cameroon in men's international football. It is controlled by the Federation Camerounaise de Football, a member of FIFA and its African confederation CAF.
The team has qualified for the FIFA World Cup eight times, more than any other African team, and four times in a row between 1990 and 2002. However, the team has only made it out of the group stage once. They were the first African team to reach the quarter-final of the World Cup in 1990, losing to England in extra time. They have also won five Africa Cup of Nations and Olympic gold in 2000.<\/P>","63D5A09C1F729528628C60E02F0396E1":"
