The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced the Best XI of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), highlighting Cameroon's dominant performance throughout the tournament. The team selection featured players from multiple nations, with Cameroon leading the way in the rankings.
Cameroon's goalkeeper, Michaely Bihina, earned recognition for her exceptional performances in goal. Defensively, Ines Belloumou from Algeria, Nohaila Benzina from Morocco, Myriam Nyadjou from Cameroon, and Hanane Aït El Haj from Morocco were selected. Midfielders Monique Ngock and Temwa Chawinga from Cameroon, along with Marine Dafeur from Algeria, rounded out the midfield.
In the forward line, Malawi's Tabitha Chawinga and Cameroon's Marie Ngah joined Zambia's Barbra Banda. Cameroon's head coach, Valentine Nguele, was honored with the position of Best XI head coach following her team's victorious campaign.
Nigeria's Super Falcons, who were eliminated from WAFCON by Cameroon in the quarter-finals, did not feature any of their players in the Best XI. Their elimination, following a 1-0 defeat to Cameroon and a 2-1 loss to South Africa in the play-off for a spot in the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, ended their record of participating in every Women’s World Cup since its inception in 1991.
