The Cameroon team wrote a piece of history at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games when they won the nation’s first Olympic Gold Medal.
It was the genesis of what would be remembered as the second golden generation – an era that would produce many stars.
One such was Patrick Mboma – who made a name for himself during the competition thanks to solid performances. It was his goal in the semi-finals that proved to be decisive and vital in ensuring passage for Cameroon to the final of the competition.
