Malawi and Cameroon have reached the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) final after contrasting semi-final victories on Wednesday.
Malawi defeated Algeria 3-1, with Tabitha Chawinga scoring twice and her sister Temwa adding another goal. Cameroon, meanwhile, edged hosts Morocco 3-1 on penalties after a goalless draw.
Cameroon goalkeeper Michaely Bihina was the hero in the shootout, saving four Morocco penalties before Myriam Maéva Nyadjou converted the decisive kick.
All four semi-finalists — Malawi, Cameroon, Morocco and Algeria — have also qualified for next summer’s Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
For Malawi and Algeria, it will be their first appearance at the tournament.
