Cameroon will take on Guinea in their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations opener on Monday evening, looking to make a positive start in what has been dubbed as a tricky Group C.
The Indomitable Lions will hope to go one step further and at least qualify for this year's final after coming third when they hosted the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
They must first survive a difficult Group C, in which three teams, including champions Senegal and Guinea, have a genuine chance of progressing to the next stage.
First up for Cameroon is Guinea, who are making their 14th appearance in the continental showpiece and will be high in confidence after beating Nigeria 2-0 in a friendly clash earlier in the week.

Team news & squads
Cameroon team news
Cameroon comes into their AFCON opener with several selection headaches, with Bryan Mbuemo out injured and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting not selected to Ivory Coast after reportedly being dropped altogether for missing recent friendlies.
Goalkeeper Andre Onana has missed the entire training camp for the tournament as well and will likely be unavailable for this game after Cameroon reached an unusual agreement to allow him to stay with Manchester United to play against Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday. Fabrice Ondoa has deputised between the sticks and will most likely do the same against Guinea.
Captain Vincent Aboubakar underwent scans on Saturday on a left thigh injury picked up in training on Friday, but early fears that he might be forced out of the tournament were played down after the examination revealed a minor knock. He's unlikely to feature in this game either way.
Cameroon possible XI: Epassy; Castelletto, Wooh, Moukoudi, Tolo; Ntcham, Kemen, Anguissa; Ngamaleu, Ekambi, Magri

Guinea boss Kaba Diawara is sweating around the fitness of their star striker Serhou Guirassy, who suffered a knock to his thigh, which saw him withdrawn early in the friendly encounter against Nigeria last week.
