WAFCON 2026: Cameroon thrash Malawi to secure historic first title

Cameroon
Enugu State

Cameroon defeated Malawi 3-0 in the final of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) on Sunday to claim their first-ever continental title.

The Indomitable Lionesses dominated the match in Rabat, Morocco, with all three goals coming in the first half.

Cameroon’s commanding performance proved too much for tournament debutants Malawi, who were unable to find a response as the Lionesses secured a historic WAFCON triumph.

Marie Ngah Manga opened the scoring before Naomi Eto made it 2-0 with a superb swivelling finish.

Ngah Manga then completed her brace to give Cameroon a commanding 3-0 lead going into half-time.

The triumph ends a long wait for Cameroon who had previously finished as runners-up in the competition on three occasions.

Their most recent final appearance before 2026 came in 2016 when they lost 1-0 to Nigeria.
