Ambroise Oyongo's first Africa Cup of Nations didn't go too well. In 2015, Oyongo was selected to Cameroon's AFCON squad as part of then-coach Volker Finke's effort to rebuild an Indomitable Lions roster that had been embarrassed at the 2014 World Cup (three group stage losses; one goal scored, nine conceded; ranked 32nd of 32 teams at the tournament). After humiliation in Brazil, Finke turned to younger players or those who had previously been on the fringes of the national team. A few older and better-known players didn't make it into the AFCON squad, though it did include several carry-overs from the World Cup team, including Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Henri Bedimo, Vincent Aboubakar, and Stephane Mbia.
