Starting for the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon on Friday, January 19 against Senegal, Montpelier right back, Enzo Gianni Tchato Mbiayi made his TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations debut in which his father, Bill Tchato, played thrice – winning the 2002 edition.
His father, Bill Tchato took part in the 2002, 2004 and 2008.
A bittersweet moment for the 21-year-old after they suffered a 3-1 defeat.
