Cameroon’s U20 Lionesses are set to clash with Brazil on Wednesday, September 11, at 10:30 PM in the Round of 16 of the U20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia.
The Baby Lionesses secured their spot in this knockout stage as the best third-placed team in Group A, amassing four points from a draw against Mexico, a setback against hosts Colombia, and a commanding 2-0 victory over Australia.
This marks a historic moment for Coach Hassan Balla and his squad, as they advance to this stage in their debut World Cup appearance, facing a formidable opponent in South American women’s football.
Brazil dominated Group B, finishing at the top with nine points, netting 14 goals, and keeping three clean sheets throughout the group stage. The Brazilian side has a rich World Cup pedigree, having participated in ten editions, with their highest finishes being third place in 2006 and 2022.
As they gear up for this uphill battle, Naomi Eto and her teammates have returned to full training in Bogotá after a well-deserved rest day, honing their skills in ball recovery and transition play.
In the aftermath of their victory over Australia, Monique Ngock highlighted the challenges ahead against Brazil but expressed unwavering confidence: “Brazil is the country of football. I’ve always dreamed of going to Brazil, but this time Brazil is coming to me. Facing them will be tough, just like Australia, but they have more control of the ball and a wealth of skillful players who can create individual opportunities.”
Looking ahead to Wednesday’s showdown, the Lionesses will also benefit from the return of Annie Felicia Enganemben, a crucial player in their World Cup qualification, who has completed a three-match suspension. She has rejoined the squad in training and is eager to make an impact in this critical encounter.
