As the drums of the African Cup of Nations are about to beat, the Cameroonian national team has been unveiled, and one of the "young players", named Douala, is causing a lot of buzz. At only 17 years old, he has an M-shaped forehead, and his maturity level seems to surpass that of many middle-aged men.
As soon as the list was published, Marca quickly wrote an article with the headline "African scandal": Cameroon drafts a 17-year-old ...... However, it seems that there is more to it than meets the eye.
According to the information provided by the Cameroon Football Association, Douala, who plays as a midfielder for domestic side Victoria United, was born on May 15, 2006 and is 17 years old. However, observing his appearance, one cannot help but doubt the authenticity of the information. It should be noted, however, that the Afcon is not a tournament for youths and therefore there is no need for a strict age limit.
