Matip snubs cameroons invitation for 2017 afcon
I think there may be some confusion here.
Joël Matip is a German professional footballer who plays as a center-back for Liverpool and the Germany national team. He was born in Bochum, Germany, to Cameroonian parents, but he has never represented Cameroon at the international level.
In 2017, Cameroon was scheduled to host the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), but the tournament was eventually moved to Egypt due to concerns over Cameroon's preparedness to host the event.
As a result, it's unlikely that Matip would have received an invitation to play for Cameroon at the 2017 AFCON, as he had never represented the country at the international level and was already committed to playing for Germany.
If you have any further information or context about this, I'd be happy to help clarify things!
