Cameroon's Indomitable Lionesses, reinstated by CAF for the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) after their initial elimination by Algeria, are in full preparation for the competition. The national team, led by key players such as Nchout Njoya Ajara, has gathered in Yaoundé for an intensive training camp aimed at refining their game and strengthening team cohesion.
As part of this preparation, an evaluation friendly match is scheduled for this Saturday, February 26, 2026, at the military stadium in Yaoundé. The opponent will be formidable: the Super Falcons of Nigeria, one of the most successful teams in African women's football. This encounter will allow the assistant coach, Mike Ndoumou, and his staff to assess the team's level and identify areas for improvement before the start of WAFCON.
WAFCON 2026, which will take place in Morocco from March 17 to April 3, will see the participation of 16 teams for the first time. Cameroon is in Group D along with Ghana, Mali, and Cape Verde. The Indomitable Lionesses, who have reached the final three times (2004, 2014, 2016), aim to perform well in this competition.
To attend this Saturday's friendly match, the Cameroonian Football Federation (Fécafoot) has set the entrance fees to the military stadium at 2000 FCFA and 5000 FCFA. This will be an opportunity for the Cameroonian public to support their national team before their departure for Morocco.
This friendly match against Nigeria represents a crucial step in the Indomitable Lionesses' preparation for WAFCON 2026. It will allow the team to compete against a quality opponent and fine-tune the final details before the major continental event.
