President of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT), Samuel Eto'o Fils has set a huge objective for his nation ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Eto'o, who will be the leader of the delegation when Cameroon heads to Qatar 2022, believes the five-time African champions are heading to their eighth World Cup appearance to win the ultimate and not to make the numbers.

Cameroon became the first of three African nations to reach the quarterfinals of the global showpiece but Eto'o wants Rigobert Song's charges to reach Hallowed grounds by winning the World Cup.

“We’re going to Qatar to win. Things must change. We’re going into every match to win, the others did not do magic. That is our mentality now,” Eto’o told the Cameroon National team in Douala as quoted by Mega Sports Arena.

“We have players here like the Zambo Anguissa’s, Onana (André), who are amongst the best in the world. Why shouldn’t we think of the dream of winning? I want us to dream humbly, but we have to dream because for us you’re the best,” he added.

“All we’re doing is for Doha. We will also dream-like others. The history of the World Cup will be written otherwise. The others are good, but they also consider us the best."

Cameroon has been handed a tough draw at the forthcoming Mundial and will have to navigate past five-time World champions Brazil, European nations Serbia and Switzerland in Group G to stand a chance of realizing Samuel Eto'o's lofty dreams.
