1982 (first round), 1990 (quarter-finals), 1994 (first round), 1998 (first round), 2002 (first round).

How they qualified
CAF
Togo (a)         0-1
Morocco (h)     0-0
Gabon (a)        2-0
Gabon (h)        2-1
Togo (h)          3-0
Morocco (a)      2-0

Chances:
Cruised through qualifying but will still be hugely reliant on the talismanic Eto'o up front. The second round looks to be about the limit of what they can achieve.

Strange but true
Samuel Eto’o gave every member of the Cameroon squad a $50,000 watch after they qualified for the 2010 World Cup. Eto’o, who had earlier given the same gift to sprin star Usain Bolt, designed the gold and diamond-encrusted watch himself.
