Behind the central figure, a crowd of spectators with raised arms fills the background in lower relief, evoking the atmosphere of a major sporting event. The arc legend COUPE DU MONDE DE LA FIFA / AFRIQUE DU SUD 2010 is inscribed along the upper portion of the coin, with the date 2010 appearing in the right field. |

| Additional information |
Cameroon's participation in the 2010 FIFA World Cup held in neighboring South Africa marked the nation's seventh qualification for the tournament — though the side was eliminated in the group stage without a win. The coin was issued under Cameroon's long-standing arrangement with the European-based numismatic firm MDM, which has produced the bulk of Cameroon's modern commemorative program. These issues are struck in Europe, not in Cameroon, and are sold exclusively to collectors rather than circulated domestically.
