OFFICIAL: Cameroon Goalkeeper André Onana Quits International Football At Age 26

Cameroon Goalie André Onana has resigned from the Cameroon national team and international football.

The 26-year-old former Ajax goalkeeper, announced his retirement after falling out with the coaching crew during the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

André Onana who currently plays his trade for Italian Serie A giant Inter Milan was sent home on the eve of Cameroon’s second group stage match against Serbia after the indomitable Lions had earlier lost their first game 1-0 to Switzerland in group G.

Onana, who stated that he is still a supporter of the team despite the dispute, made his decision to quit through a post he shared in all his social media handles which reads;

“It all started in Ngol Nkok, a small village where, from a very young age, my family passed on to me the values that identify the Cameroonian people. I understood that love for this country is eternal and that commitment is non-negotiable.

“I remember how we watched the matches as a family. Only Cameroonians can understand what it means to us to see the Indomitable Lions play. That’s when I started dreaming of one day wearing the national team jersey. And now, after endless hours of training, endless trips and a lot of perseverance, I can proudly say that I have fulfilled my great dream.

“But every story, however beautiful it may be, has its end. And my story with the Cameroonian national team has come to an end. Players come and go, names are fleeting, but Cameroon comes before any person or player. Cameroon remains eternal and so does my love for the national team and for our people who have always supported us no matter how difficult the moment was.

“My feelings will never change. My Cameroonian heart will continue to beat and wherever I go I will always fight to lift the flag of Cameron as high as possible.

“I Will continue to support as a fan, just as the more than 27 million Cameroonians do at every match. I can only thank all those who trusted me and believed that I could add and contribute to this team.

“The nation first and forever.”
