Cameroon beat host Morocco on penalties to reach WAFCON final

Cameroon secured their place in the WAFCON final by defeating host Morocco 3-1 on penalties in a dramatic semi-final match in Rabat. The match ended goalless after 120 minutes, with Morocco missing a late penalty by Fatima Tagnaout. Cameroon's Marie Ngah, Rose Bella, and Myriam Nyadjou all converted their penalties, while Morocco's Hanane Aït El Haj was the only successful shooter.

Despite Morocco's attempts to shake off their penalties, Cameroon remained composed and won the shootout. This victory marks Cameroon's fourth appearance in the WAFCON final, and eliminates defending champions Nigeria and hosts Morocco from contention.
