Cameroon Legend Seeks to Repeat 1988 Feat Against Morocco

Roger Milla, Cameroon's legend, says his national team will try to replicate the 1988 achievement at the expense of Morocco.

Cameroon's side has drawn a fiery quarterfinal showdown against Morocco in AFCON 2025.

Cameroon previously lifted the Africa Cup of Nations title in 1988, which was held in Morocco.

1988 Run and the Road to the Title

In that edition, Cameroon faced the hosts in the semi-finals, defeating them 1-0 before going on to win the title against Nigeria.

In an exclusive BeIN Sports interview, Milla said he was very happy with the Black Lions' results, and they would try to repeat beating Morocco.

He added that Cameroon players will give their all to progress to the semi-finals and lift the trophy.

Punchline 1: If Cameroon pulls it off, even the history books will need a update button.

Punchline 2: And if not, at least the memes will celebrate a goal well argued in the hallway of the internet.
