Following the conclusion of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations group stages, the Technical Study Group (TSG) has released a list of the top performers in Cameroon so far.
Best Player – Vincent Aboubakar 🇨🇲
The Cameroon captain has scored in each of the Indomitable Lions’ three Group A games. Unsurprisingly, he is also the best scorer in AFCON with a tournament-best of five goals in total.

Best Young Player – Ilaix Moriba 🇬🇳
The former Barcelona midfielder has put aside his Leipzig woes to impress Guinea. Despite only making his senior international debut this month, Moriba has quickly settled in. He starred for the team in the last two games against Senegal and Zimbabwe, helping the National Elephants finish second in Group B.
