Qualification history
Navigating a route through to the global showcase has become almost second nature for Cameroon, the traditional African giants having reached five of the last six final tournaments. Despite being regulars on the world stage, they were nonetheless made to wait for their initial breakthrough, testing themselves for the first time in 1970 but experiencing disappointment until finally making the cut in 1982. After missing out again in 1986, they then found the formula for consistent success, only falling short when a last-gasp penalty miss in their final game against Egypt deprived them of a place at Germany 2006.
FIFA World Cup finals history
Perhaps no team has done more to shake up perceptions of African football. The Indomitable Lions exited Spain 1982 at the group stage, but they ended their maiden excursion undefeated, having drawn 0-0 with both Peru and Poland and 1-1 with eventual winners Italy. Eight years later, they wrote themselves into the annals of the game by beating holders Argentina in the Opening Match and becoming the first African side to reach the quarter-finals, powered by the goals of evergreen striker Roger Milla. That breakthrough performance remains their finest showing, group-stage exits having followed in 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2010.
The current crop
Cameroon are still one of the most feared and respected sides on the continent, with iconic forward Samuel Eto’o perhaps destined to be regarded as the greatest African footballer of all time. Results since the turn of the century have done little to reflect the ability in their ranks, but after an under-par South Africa 2010 campaign and various internal problems, the Indomitable Lions will set off down the road to Brazil 2014 with genuine ambition. They will also boast a new generation of talent following the retirement of emblematic defender Rigobert Song.
The key players
In addition to the obvious charisma and goalscoring pedigree of Eto’o, Cameroon boast a number of gifted players in every department. Goalkeeper Carlos Idriss Kameni is a worthy successor to former No1s Thomas Nkono and Joseph-Antoine Bell, while the likes of Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Stephane M'Bia, Achille Emana, Joel Matip and Alexandre Song have all spent numerous years honing their skills in Europe’s most prestigious championships.

Best performances in a FIFA competition: FIFA World Cup Italy 1990 (Quarter-finals), Men’s Olympic Football Tournament Sydney 2000 (Winners)

Congo Qualification history
Success came quickly for Congo DR as the newcomers advanced to Germany 1974 in their first attempt at qualifying, yet that remains their one and only trip to the global showcase. The Leopards – previously nicknamed the Simbas – have fallen short ever since and failed to reach the last round of qualifying for South Africa 2010, finishing behind Egypt in their second-round group.

FIFA World Cup finals history
Then known as Zaire, Congo DR became the first sub-Saharan nation to contest a FIFA World Cup™ final tournament when they travelled to Germany 1974. The debutants went into the tournament fresh from adding the 1974 CAF Africa Cup of Nations title to their 1968 crown, but were quickly brought back down to earth by consecutive losses to Brazil, Scotland and Yugoslavia. They were also unable to find the net and conceded no fewer than 14 times, nine of those goals coming against Yugoslavia – giving them the unenviable record of having suffered the joint-heaviest defeat in finals history along with El Salvador.

The current crop
The Leopards are on the move again, hungry for continental honours as well as a place at the FIFA World Cup. This return to form has had much to do with the revival of iconic club TP Mazembe, the Lubumbashi outfit having recently added a pair of CAF Champions League titles to their list of honours, as well as reaching the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup. Mazembe provide the spine of the national team while the rest of the side is composed of players making names for themselves in Europe, and together they have struck a sound balance, even if confidence remains slightly fragile.

The key players
A popular figure in his homeland and voted player of the 2009 CAF African Nations Championship, Tresor Mputu has emerged as the long-term successor to Shabani Nonda. He is ably supported by effective finisher Dioko Kaluyituka while Muteba Kidiaba provides solidity between the posts, and with powerful midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu and veteran forward Lomana LuaLua providing Premier League experience, the Leopards have plenty of reasons to be feared on the road to Brazil 2014.

Coach: Claude Le Roy
Best performance in a FIFA competition: FIFA World Cup Germany 1974 (Group stages)
Former stars: Shabani Nonda, Mulamba Ndaye, Etepe Kakoko
