International career

Matip represented German youth sides at Under 19 and Under-21 level in competitions including the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship and the 2006 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, but was called up to the Cameroon national side in 2007 after announcing his desire to represent Cameroon.[2] However, his career with Cameroon was delayed after the correct paperwork was not filed with FIFA in time.[3] He made his international debut with Les Lions Indomptables in a friendly match against Ukraine on 2 June 2013.[4]

Matip was born to a Cameroonian father and a German mother, and as such is eligible to represent either nation.[5]
