Best result: Winners (1984, 1988, 2000, 2002)

Cameroon failed to qualify for the 2012 and 2013 Nations Cups and suffered a disastrous 2014 World Cup.

But the Indomitable Lions shrugged off those disappointments as well as the retirement of Nations Cup all-time record goalscorer Samuel Eto'o to qualify unbeaten.

Strikers Aboubakar and Clinton N'Jie scored seven of Cameroon's nine qualifying goals.
