Cameroon beat Malawi to claim maiden Women’s Cup of Nations title
Cameroon claimed a first Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title when they beat Malawi 3-0 in Sunday's final in Morocco, with Marie Ngah Manga’s first-half double helping the the Indomitable Lionesses seal victory.
Cameroon have achieved a historic first by winning the TotalEnergies CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations, defeating Malawi 3-0 in the final. Marie Ngah scored twice, with Naomi Ndjoah Eto adding a third goal. This victory makes Cameroon only the fourth nation to win the Women's Africa Cup of Nations, following Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea and South Africa.
It also ends a painful streak of three final defeats for the Indomitable Lionesses, who lost to Nigeria in 2004, 2014 and 2016. Cameroon's defensive organization and ruthless finishing proved decisive, ensuring Malawi's debut campaign ended without a title win.
