    Siakam, Hill, top prospect Chomche named in Cameroon's OQT preliminary squad

    It's an exciting short-listed squad for Cameroon.

    YAOUNDE (Cameroon) - Cameroon have announced a 26-man preliminary squad for the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament 2024 Latvia that includes some of the country's most prominent players.

    In addition to top prospect Ulrich Chomche - a projected draft pick in next month's NBA Draft - and Jeremiah Hill, head coach Alfred Aboya invited Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam.

    Besides all twelve players that helped Cameroon clinch the FIBA Pre-Olympic Qualifying Tournament held last August in Lagos, Nigeria, Aboya called up several foreign-based Cameroonian players, including Baylor University's center Yves Missi, who has also declared for the 2024 NBA Draft.

    According to the Cameroon Basketball Federation (FECABASKET), the Indomitable Lions will hold a training camp in Riga, Latvia from June 15-30 where they will play two preparation against Egypt (June 24) and Georgia (June 26). Stay up to date with all preparation games for the teams playing in the OQTs here.

    Aboya is expected to announce Cameroon's final roster a few days before the OQT where they will face Brazil and Montenegro in Group B in Riga from July 2-7.

    This is Cameroon's first OQT appearance since finishing 0-2 at the 2008 Athens OQT.
