In 2008–09, a tense season for Espanyol, which ranked in the bottom three for a lengthy period, Kameni had two incidents: first, he had a near-physical confrontation with a fan (who first insulted the player) after a training session in January, then fought with teammate Grégory Béranger again in training, in May. He still featured in 37 out of 38 league games, being essential to the side’s maintenance and, during the campaign, also broke countryman’s Thomas N’Kono record of minutes without conceding a goal, at 497.

Kameni was also chosen for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and was expected to start by many observers. However, he ended up on the bench as coach Paul Le Guen preferred Souleymanou Hamidou over him, and the national side was the first team to be eliminated from the tournament after losing all three group matches.

Kameni, a Cameroonian national, has been an international since the age of 17. He was part of the national squads at the 2006, 2008 and 2002 Africa Cup of Nations. His country was runners-up in the FIFA Confederations Cup 2003, and he was the first-choice goalkeeper.
