Cameroon have named a 21-player squad for the upcoming FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco, marking their return to the tournament for the first time since 2018.

Head coach Ndomou Mike has assembled a blend of promising talent and exciting attacking options as the West African nation prepares for a challenging Group B campaign against the Netherlands, North Korea, and Mexico.

The squad is led by captain and top scorer Tiwa Melong Lys Fraiche, who is expected to spearhead the attack alongside standout wingers Tazanou Ange and Avana Béatrice. Midfield dynamism will come from the likes of Zoua Yolande in an offensive role, Tsongo Nkoussa Divine in central midfield, and Ngali Mbida, a defensive mainstay. Mvele Marie also adds balance and control in the middle of the park.
