Cameroon have appeared in the finals of the FIFA World Cup on eight occasions, the first being in 1982 where they drew all three group games and finished in 17th position. In 1990 Cameroon reached the quarter-finals before being defeated 3–2 by England. Roger Milla, at the age of 42, became the oldest player ever to appear in a World Cup finals at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, where he also managed to score. The record for oldest player was broken in 2014 by Colombian goalkeeper Faryd Mondragón, but Milla is still the oldest goalscorer at FIFA World Cup finals.

In the 2002 finals, the Cameroon players were not allowed to wear sleeveless shirts. FIFA considered Cameroon's sleeveless shirts to be vests but not shirts which a player is required to wear under the FIFA Laws of the Game. 


Earlier, Cameroon wore the sleeveless shirts throughout the 2002 African Nations Cup and won the title.

When Cameroon's Roger Milla played his last match against Russia in 1994 he was 42 years and 39 days old, a record for the oldest player at the World Cup that was surpassed in 2014 by Colombia goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon. Milla is also the oldest player to have scored a goal at the World Cup.
