Breel Embolo Refuses to Celebrate his FIFA World Cup 2022 Goal for Switzerland Against Cameroon- his Country of Birth
Not often we see a footballer not celebrating after scoring a goal. But Switzerland's Breel Embolo did exactly that as a mark of respect for a country of birth he was playing against. Embolo was born in Cameroon before moving to France and then Switzerland.
Breel Embolo netted a goal for Switzerland against Cameroon in the Group G encounter of the FIFA World Cup 2022. However, Embolo refused to celebrate the goal in respect to his country he was born in. The 25-year-old footballer was born in Yaounde, the capital of Cameron. Before moving to Switzerland, he first moved to France as a child. He made his debut for Switzerland in 2015.
