Women's AFCON 2026: Cameroon eliminates Morocco in semi-finals
Cameroon defeated Morocco in a penalty shootout to qualify for the tournament final.
Cameroon achieved a decisive victory against Morocco in the semi-finals of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations, held in Morocco. The match ended in a 0-0 draw, but the Cameroonian team triumphed in the penalty shootout, winning 3-1.
The match was marked by a crucial moment when Fatima Tagnaout missed a penalty in the 118th minute, which could have secured the victory for the host nation, Morocco. This elimination is particularly frustrating following Morocco's two previous failures to reach the final.
Cameroon will now prepare to face Malawi, who defeated Algeria 3-1, in the final scheduled for Sunday, August 16.
