Cameroon secured their first-ever Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title, triumphing over Malawi 3-0 in the final held at the Moulay El Hassan Stadium in Rabat. Marie Ngah was the star of the show, scoring twice, with assistance from Naomi Ndjoah Eto, who netted the second goal. This victory marked Cameroon's fourth Women's Africa Cup of Nations win, following successful campaigns by Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, and South Africa.
The win also put an end to a three-year streak of final defeats for the Indomitable Lionesses, with losses to Nigeria in 2004, 2014, and 2016. The final pitted two teams seeking their first African title, with Malawi aiming to complete their remarkable debut run, and Cameroon looking to turn years of near misses into a much-needed trophy.
Despite Malawi's best efforts, they struggled to break down Cameroon's defensive discipline and efficiency. The win marked a remarkable campaign for Cameroon, who had not only qualified as new entrants but also managed an unbeaten run through the tournament, conceding only twice.
