Cameroon and Malawi Clash in WAFCON 2026 Final
The final of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations will see Cameroon and Malawi compete for their first major title. Cameroon reached the final after a tense penalty shootout victory against hosts Morocco, following a goalless 120 minutes.
Malawi, making their tournament debut, defeated Algeria 3-1 to secure their place in the final. They previously stunned ten-time champions Nigeria with a 3-2 victory in their opening match.
The Chawinga sisters, Tabitha and Temwa, have been pivotal for Malawi, with Tabitha scoring twice in the semi-final and Temwa leading the Golden Boot race with five goals and two assists. Cameroon’s defense has been anchored by goalkeeper Michaely Bihina, who was instrumental in their quarter-final win over Nigeria and saved multiple penalties in the semi-final shootout against Morocco.
The final promises a clash of styles, with Malawi's potent attack facing Cameroon’s solid defense.
