In 'n uitstekende vertoning in die eerste helfte het Marie Ngah twee doele aangeteken, met 'n derde deur Naomi Ndjoah Eto in ekstra tyd van die eerste helfte.

Kameroen se doelwagter Michaely Kyria Bihia sê die span het alles gegee om te wen:
The Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon joined South Africa, Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria as WAFCON winners after a thrilling and emphatic 3-0 win over tournament debutants and surprise finalists, Malawi. It is fitting that the 200th episode of this podcast is to a review of the final and the tournament as a whole. Host, Amara Obah is joined by regulars Esther Olamoyegun and Ikechukwu Okeke with one of the voices of women's football in the continent, Sam Ahmadu, making his debut. Enjoy the series finale.
Today's WAFCON final in Morocco sees Cameroon face Malawi, with both sides chasing a historic continental title. Malawi's remarkable run has already secured their first-ever Women's World Cup qualification. In the Premiership, Chippa United host Orlando Pirates at Kings Park Stadium in Durban, rather than the Eastern Cape. Kick-off is at 3pm. In the Currie Cup, the Bulls host the Cheetahs at Loftus, also kicking off at 3pm. Jon Gericke spoke to SABC's sports broadcaster Benjamin Leshoro For a quick snap shop analysis
Jon Nelson hosts the best of SDH AM from the Soccer Down Here Network, with three guests who each bring a different corner of the soccer world into focus. Danny Higginbotham joins to react to the reported €18 million move that could bring Breel Embolo to Atlanta United, then breaks down what Saturday's Nashville SC matchup with Inter Miami at GEODIS Park will hinge on, from Lionel Messi's emotional return following his father's health scare to the absence of one of Miami's most consistent defenders. Diego Pessolano, Spanish language play by play voice for Apple TV and Fútbol de Primera, talks about calling more than twenty World Cup matches this summer, his lifelong devotion to Argentina and Boca Juniors, and why the Leagues Cup format rewards teams that can win under pressure. And Ali Howorth walks through the Women's Africa Cup of Nations semifinals, where Malawi, ranked 153rd in the world and playing in their first ever WAFCON, have already qualified for next year's Women's World Cup behind sisters Temwa and Tabitha Chawinga, a story that traces back to a single academy coach in Malawi who paid for their flights to Europe out of his own pocket.
Chicago Stars make a major coaching move, Olivia Moultrie has been placed on the season-ending injury list because of an ACL injury, and the WAFCON Final is officially set! ⚽️

The Women's Africa Cup of Nations is down to its final four. Who has impressed most, which teams can win the title, and what does WAFCON reveal about the future of women's football in Africa?
WAFCON's quarterfinals just delivered the craziest week in the tournament's history, and the results prove it: ten-time champion and defending champion Nigeria were knocked out and Malawi, playing in just their first-ever WAFCON, qualified for their first-ever World Cup as the lowest-ranked nation to ever do it.In this episode, LDG breaks down all four quarterfinal matches before making the case that the World Cup slot allocation hasn't caught up to what African women's football has become. He lays out the numbers first: CAF and UEFA have almost identical membership, 54 nations to 55, yet UEFA gets eleven direct World Cup slots to CAF's four. This year's WAFCON proves how badly that decision missed the mark and why this current framework is detrimental to the growth of the women's game.He backs it up with what just happened on the pitch, a 16-team WAFCON field for the first time ever with two debutant nations reaching the tournament and a group so tight that CAF had to separate Malawi, Nigeria, and Zambia on a rarely-used head-to-head tiebreaker.From there, LDG gets into the storylines carrying the tournament into its final week, including KC Current forward Temwa Chawinga's goal against Ghana that kept Malawi's run alive, and what it means for an NWSL name to be at the center of an African qualifying story.He previews Wednesday's semifinals, Morocco hosting Cameroon in Rabat and Malawi facing Algeria in Casablanca, and closes on the four teams still fighting for a way into Brazil: Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, and Ivory Coast all play an extra round on August 13 for a single remaining spot in the FIFA inter-confederation playoff, with two former champions now needing one more result just to stay alive.As mentioned in the episode, if you are looking to more WAFCON content, listen to our interview with Nigerian forward Esther Okoronkwo here, which we released on the day of their first 2026 WAFCON match!Thank you all for listening!

The Super Falcons are OUT of WAFCON 2026. Nigeria's title defence has come to an end after a disappointing 1-0 quarter-final defeat to Cameroon, meaning the Super Falcons will not automatically qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup through the semi-finals. Olu reviews the Cameroon defeat and looks at the bigger picture surrounding Nigerian football. The Super Falcons have been Nigeria's most successful national team for decades, yet they now find themselves fighting to keep their World Cup qualification hopes alive. Nigeria face South Africa for the chance to reach the intercontinental World Cup playoff route. Olu discusses the performance against Cameroon, the missed opportunities, the wider problems within Nigerian football, and whether this result is another warning sign that something needs to change.Follow Nigeria Football Weekly:Twitter - https://twitter.com/NFWPod Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nigeriafootballweekly/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nigeriafootballweekly Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/NigeriaFootballWeekly Linktree - https://linktr.ee/nigeriafootballweekly Email - olu@nigeriafootballweekly.com
