❌ Etta Eyong and why she turned down Spain: Even if the president... | OneFootball

Etta Eyong had to choose in recent months between representing Cameroon and representing Spain.

The Levante forward chose to compete with Cameroon, his native country, and hopes to represent them in the 2026 World Cup.

In a recent interview, he explained why he chose the African team over Spain:  "Choose Spain? That would not have happened; my heart belongs to Cameroon. Even if the President of Spain had approached me and said: 'Please, come'... I would have told him that I was sorry, but I would follow my heart."

It seems that Etta Eyong's choice was easier than it was made out to be at the time, when there was speculation that he might play with 'La Roja'.
