Cameroon also participated in the Winter Olympic Games on one occasion, in 2002, with a single representative, Isaac Menyoli.
During the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Cameroon, along with many other African countries, boycotted due to the participation of New Zealand, who still had sporting links with South Africa.

They have participated in the World Cup 8 times, and in 1990 they reached the quarter-finals. It took extra time before England won the game 3–2. They have also won the African Cup of Nations 5 times as well as winning Olympic gold in Sydney in 2000. Among the most famous players are Roger Milla, Thomas N'Kono and Samuel Eto'o.
