Although Gabon are not one of the 10 African sides still in contention to compete at the tournament in Qatar, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is among the most famous players to have chosen to play for a nation from the African continent when he perhaps had other options.
Aubameyang's father, whose first name is also Pierre, made 29 appearances for the Panthers between 1985 and 1998, with his son deciding to follow in his footsteps despite previously being eligible for Les Bleus. His club teammate Ez Abde, who was often called upon by Xavi Hernandez during an injury crisis earlier this year, has opted to accept a call-up by Morocco ahead of their third-round qualifying clashes against DR Congo this month after initially declaring his dream to play for Spain.
