Recently, Karl Etta Eyong reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to Cameroon in an interview with SportyTV, revealing the motives behind his choice.

For the November international break, Karl Etta Eyong was called up by Marc Brys for the African playoffs for the 2026 World Cup. The young Cameroonian talent has racked up 5 goals and 3 assists this season with Levante. Known for his blistering pace and clinical finishing, he has naturally caught the eye of several European national teams, including Spain.

But he has already made his choice for Cameroon. Etta Eyong left no room for doubt about his intentions: "Choose Spain? That never interested me; my heart was always with Cameroon. Even if the president of Spain came to me and said, 'Come, please,' I would have told him I was sorry, but I would follow my heart." he declared.

Etta Eyong is now preparing to proudly defend Cameroon's colors in a fierce African showdown. The Lions will face the Democratic Republic of Congo this Thursday night in the World Cup 2026 qualifying playoffs.
