Indomitable Lionesses beat Malawi 3–0 in Morocco to claim historic continental crown
RABAT, MOROCCO — Cameroon has finally reached the top of African women’s football.
The Indomitable Lionesses defeated Malawi 3–0 to win the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations and claim their first continental title.
The victory ended Cameroon’s long wait for the trophy and created a new chapter in the country’s football history.
Cameroon had already built a strong reputation in women’s football, but the WAFCON title had remained out of reach.
That changed in Morocco.
The final victory also brought an emotional end to a remarkable tournament for Malawi.
The Malawian team, making its debut at the tournament, surprised many observers by reaching the final and becoming one of the biggest stories of the competition.
Cameroon’s success is also significant because the team had initially been eliminated during the qualifying process before being given another route into the tournament following changes to the competition.
The victory has sparked celebrations among Cameroonians at home and abroad.
It is more than a football trophy.
For many supporters, it is a sign of what investment and opportunity in women’s football can produce.
The tournament has also highlighted the growing quality of women’s football across Africa.
Cameroon now has the title.
Malawi has a historic final appearance.
And other countries have seen what is possible when women’s football receives the attention and support it deserves.
For the Indomitable Lionesses, however, there is only one thing that matters today:
They are African champions.
