Cameroon became the first qualifiers for the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) quarter-finals thanks to a 1-0 win against Ghana on Sunday, and a 3-2 victory for Mali over Cape Verde.

Defeating the Black Queens lifted the Indomitable Lionesses to six points after two Group D matchdays. Ghana and Mali have three each and eliminated Cape Verde none.

With Ghana meeting Mali in the final round of group matches on Thursday, Cameroon are guaranteed a top-two finish irrespective of their result against Cape Verde.
