Cameroon dominates Malawi to win first Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title

Cameroon secured their maiden Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title by defeating Malawi 3-0 in the championship final. Marie Ngah's first-half double was instrumental in Cameroon's victory, with the striker scoring from close range in the 20th minute and again in the 30th minute. The match saw Malawi, a debutant in the continental championship, making a triumphant return to the final after losing in the previous three finals.

Ranked 153 globally and 32nd on the African continent, Malawi's fairytale run ended with a 3-0 defeat against the Indomitable Lionesses. Cameroon joined Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, and South Africa as previous four-time winners of the prestigious tournament.
