Cameroon wins first Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title

The Women’s Africa Cup of Nations concluded on Sunday with Cameroon securing its first title after a 1‑0 victory over Malawi in the final. The Indomitable Lionesses, who had missed qualification for the previous edition, lifted the trophy for the first time in their history.

Cameroon’s triumph came after a run that saw the team overcome several opponents in the knockout stages, culminating in a narrow win against debutants Malawi. The victory also ends a streak in which the Lionesses lost in the final on their last three appearances, all to Nigeria, the tournament’s 10‑time champion. The win marks a significant milestone for Cameroon’s women’s program and adds a new chapter to the competition’s evolving history.
