Lillian Njoh dreams of playing for Cameroon's Indomitable Lions
However, the 24-year-old defender says that no formal steps have been taken.
But his ambition is clear: to defend the colours of Cameroon's national team. The Servette FC left-back has Cameroonian roots through his father.
And he proudly proclaims his attachment to his father's country, which he visits regularly. In an interview with Blick, the Swiss-trained player made no secret of his aspirations.
"I am attached to Cameroon because my father is Cameroonian. I've been going there every year since I was born. It's true that I hope to be selected for the Indomitable Lions. It's a team I've supported since I was a child. Selection is the Holy Grail, so to speak. It's a personal goal of mine to be selected. Any contact with the federation? No, none whatsoever," said Lillian Njoh.
