CAF increased the tournament size from 12 to 16 teams and reinstated Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, and Egypt following FIFA rankings. In an unexpected turn of events, Cameroon has successfully advanced to the final.
The Indomitable Lionesses secured their spot in the 2026 WAFCON final after overcoming hosts Morocco 3–1 on penalties, after a 120-minute match that ended without goals, following their recent victory over Nigeria.
Softfootball reports that goalkeeper Michaely Bihina’s outstanding performance included four vital penalty saves:
- One during extra time
- Three more in the shootout
Her exceptional saves, rapid reflexes, and authoritative presence were crucial for Cameroon, solidifying her recognition as one of the tournament’s key players.
