Bassogog, who made his Indomitable Lions debut in November 2016, was instrumental in the title success scoring in the semi-final win over Ghana as well as being involved in a couple of goals for the Champions.

Rigobert Song was the last Cameroonian to have won the prize after he emerged as the best player in the 2002 tournament in Mali.
