Cameroon Lionesses Crowned Africa Champions | Amarillo News

Cameroon’s Women’s Lionesses finally claimed their first-ever Africa Cup of Nations title, crushing Malawi 3-0 in a historic victory that ended three heartbreaking final losses to Nigeria. Marie Ngah Manga dazzled with two headed goals, while Naomi Eto added the third, sparking pure joy and disbelief after years of near-misses. The team, once absent from the tournament, delivered a stunning comeback on home soil, with FIFA and CAF leaders in attendance to witness the moment. Malawi started strong but couldn’t match Cameroon’s relentless pressure — Ngah Manga’s brace and Eto’s clinical finish sealed it, while VAR denied a potential penalty for Malawi’s Chawinga sisters. Even veteran Gabrielle Aboudi Onguéné, who’d been part of the 2016 losing squad, got to celebrate this time — though her late goal was disallowed for offside. This triumph is more than a trophy — it’s proof of resilience, grit, and the dawn of a new era for Cameroonian women’s football.
