The Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon will end their over one year run without a camp or any football game with a friendly against the Atlas Lionesses next month.
According to our sources, Cameroon that last played a competitive game in February last year against Nigeria in the Olympics qualifiers will face Morocco on April 8 in Casablanca.
The game will help the 2016 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (AWCON) runner-up prepare for their continental tournament qualifier match against Algeria while Morocco is using the game to prepare for the AWCON tournament they host next year.
The game against Morocco will be the first between both nations since Morocco beat Cameroon in another friendly in September 2021. It is an opportunity for Jean Baptiste Bisseck and his squad of players to right the wrongs of recent times and open a new chapter after the recent failures against Nigeria and Kenya that led to the country missing out on qualification for two tournaments within a month.
After the friendly, Cameroon will clash with Algeria in the second round of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (AWCON) qualifiers in October.
Cameroon who were waved bye from the first round of the qualifiers will enter proceedings in October, hoping to make up for missing the 2024 tournament to be played next year in Morocco.
The Cameroon versus Algeria confrontation will be the Indomitable Lionesses first international game in over a year but coach Jean Baptiste Bisseck is hoping to have a squad competitive enough to better their performance last time out against Kenya and the game against Morocco will be a perfect testing ground.
The meeting will be the first between the nations since the Joseph Ndoko led Cameroon team beat Algeria 3-0 during AWCON 2018 in Ghana and the Algerians will certainly have that in mind while hoping to be at their best to secure a return to the AWCON scene.
The 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations will serve as the decider of the continent’s teams to qualify for the 2027 FIFA World Cup.
