Friendly Match: Côte d’Ivoire Falls at Home to Cameroon

Following two strong victories in the AFCON 2027 qualifiers, Côte d’Ivoire hosted Cameroon on Saturday for an international friendly. Played at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Ebimpé in front of a large home crowd, the high-profile clash ended in a 1–0 victory for Cameroon.

Bil Nsongo scored the sole goal of the match in the 46th minute, capitalizing on a fine assist from Arthur Ebong. This prestige win offers Cameroon a welcome boost following their disappointing 1–1 draw against Congo-Brazzaville in the AFCON qualifiers.

For Côte d’Ivoire, the defeat marks a brief setback after an impressive run of back-to-back wins in their qualification campaign for AFCON 2027.
