Spanish media Marca reported on the 29th (Korea Standard Time) that “Wilfried Nathan Douala has been selected as a member of Cameroon’s national team, which is scheduled to participate in the 2023 African Football Confederation (CAF) Africa Cup of Nations,” adding, “However, as his face was revealed, there is a controversy over his false age.” Douala is a 17-year-old midfielder who was born on May 15, 2006. However, shockingly for the number of 17, his face looks old enough not to be strange to say that he is in his 40s.
Marca said, “A soccer player (Nathan Douala) in Cameroon is in his teens, sparking controversy. Douala will compete in the Africa Cup of Nations, and some claim that she is much older than her profile age.” The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations will be held in Ivory Coast from Jan. 13 to Feb. 11 (local time) next year. Senegal won the last 2021 tournament.
Cameroon, led by coach Ligobert Song, will seek its first championship in 21 years after 2002. Earlier, Cameroon announced its final entry of 27 players, including Douala, who plays for Victoria United in its own league. He is also the youngest player in the Cameroonian national team. 바카라
Being selected for the senior national team at the young age of 17 is a very special thing in itself. However, according to Marca, there is a controversy over his face being revealed, with fans saying, “I can’t believe his beard is growing like that at the age of 17” and “He looks more than 40 years old.”
