Eto'o played 118 times for his country, including at four World Cups, after making his debut against Costa Rica in 1997. He scored 56 goals to become Cameroon's all-time highest goalscorer.
Eto'o's illustrious club side career is starting a new chapter as his international career comes to an end. The striker just signed a two-year contract with Everton after being released by Chelsea at the end of last year's Premier League season.
