Malawi and Cameroon to Play WAFCON Final in Rabat

The Women’s Africa Cup of Nations final will take place on Sunday in Rabat, with Malawi and Cameroon meeting at 9 p.m. Paris time. The match, scheduled for the Stade Mohammed V, marks the first time either side has reached the continental final, setting the stage for a historic showdown.

Both teams entered the tournament with strong campaigns. Malawi, a relatively new entrant to the competition, advanced through the group stage and a knockout round to secure a place in the final, while Cameroon, a more established footballing nation, progressed by defeating several higher‑ranked opponents. The encounter is viewed as a surprise, as it pits an emerging side against a traditional power, each hoping to claim their maiden continental title.

The final will decide the first Africa Cup of Nations champion for both Malawi and Cameroon, a milestone that could reshape the perception of women’s football in their respective countries. The outcome will be closely watched by African football authorities and supporters eager to see which nation will lift the trophy for the first time in its history.
