Cameroon knock out Nigeria to reach WAFCON semifinals and secure World Cup berth

Monday, 10 August 2026, 06:29 · 1 min read

Cameroon defeated Nigeria 1-0 in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Casablanca on Sunday, ending the Super Falcons' reign as African champions. The only goal came from 20-year-old Myriam Wamen, who struck a long-range effort into the top corner in the 19th minute, with Cameroon goalkeeper Michaely Binha making several key saves to preserve the lead. The result guarantees a new African champion will be crowned in Morocco and secures Cameroon a place at the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil.
