The Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) has relieved Jean-Baptiste Bisseck of his duties as head coach of the Indomitable Lionesses, less than 24 hours after the team’s failure to qualify for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
In an official communiqué released on Wednesday, FECAFOOT confirmed the decision in clear terms:
“Jean-Baptiste Bisseck is no longer the coach of Cameroon from the day of signature of this document.”
The move comes in the aftermath of Cameroon’s 3-1 aggregate defeat to Algeria, a result that extended the Lionesses’ absence from continental competition to a second consecutive WAFCON and also ruled them out of the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Bisseck, who was appointed in 2022, leaves without having led Cameroon to any major tournament. His reign was marred by inconsistent performances, internal criticism, and growing frustration among fans and former players over the team’s decline.
This decision marks the beginning of yet another rebuilding phase for the once-dominant Lionesses, who had previously qualified for every WAFCON since 2006 before back-to-back eliminations under his watch.
FECAFOOT is expected to name an interim coach in the coming days as part of its plan to restructure the women’s national team setup.
More to come in minutes ahead…
