The Cameroon Football Federation (Fédération Camerounaise de Football, or FCFC) has announced that Cephas Malele will join the national team's squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada.
Malele, who was born on October 14, 1997, is a midfielder who currently plays for French club AS Saint-Étienne. He made his debut with the Cameroon national team during the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia and has since earned three caps for the senior side.
The announcement comes as part of the federation's efforts to strengthen its squad ahead of the upcoming tournament. The national team has been facing challenges in recent years, including poor performance at the Africa Cup of Nations and lack of depth in key positions.
Malele's inclusion in the squad is seen as a positive step towards addressing these issues. With his experience and skill set, he is expected to make a significant impact on the field and help the team perform better.
The official announcement regarding Malele's joining the national team is expected soon, but it remains unclear when exactly it will be released. However, fans can expect to see more updates from the Cameroon Football Federation leading up to the event.
