WAFCON 2026: Black Queens fall to Cameroun, face must-win final group match against Mali

The Black Queens suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Cameroun in their second Group D match at the 2026 CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday.

Ghana made a positive start, enjoying sustained spells of possession and looking comfortable in the opening exchanges. However, Cameroun broke the deadlock in the first half after converting a penalty.

The Black Queens responded with renewed intensity after the break, pushing forward in search of an equaliser and creating several promising chances.

Despite their attacking intent, Coach Kim Lars Björkegren's side could not find a way past a resilient Camerounian defence.

Ghana continued to apply pressure until the final whistle while remaining defensively organised to keep the scoreline within reach. However, Cameroun held firm to secure all three points.

The result leaves the Black Queens with everything to play for in their final Group C fixture as they seek to secure a place in the knockout stage of the tournament.
