She highlighted the importance of unity across Central African federations, pointing out that real progress can only happen when countries move together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis training is extremely important for us in Central Africa. We must join forces if we want to grow women\u2019s football,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Tagne emphasized that Cameroon\u2019s experience offers a solid case study for the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCameroon is seen as a model in Central Africa. We\u2019ve done a lot already, and we need to use that experience to guide others,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>During the workshop, her delegation shared an overview of their national team structure, which includes four women\u2019s squads , the senior Lionesses, the U20s, the U17s, and a U15 team that is nearly ready for competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur presentation caught many by surprise,\u201d Tagne said. \u201cThey didn\u2019t expect us to have four national selections, all active. This kind of structure gives us a strong foundation, but also a responsibility to support others in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The conversation was not limited to tactics and teams. Administrators were encouraged to take the business side of football seriously, especially in areas like branding and sponsorship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach of us is expected to go back home and develop marketing plans that can bring in sponsors. We also have to come up with strategic development plans and share them with CAF, FIFA, and UNIFFAC,\u201d<br \/>\nTagne explained.<\/p>\n<p>CAF\u2019s Head of Women\u2019s Football, Meskerem Ghosime, praised the level of engagement and practical focus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe quality of the training and the interaction we saw show that the content was worth delivering,\u201d she said. \u201cThere was real enthusiasm among participants. That tells us the message landed well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ghosime noted that CAF\u2019s goal is not just to host events, but to support long-term impact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis kind of seminar should produce a roadmap for the zone. We want each member association to go back with clear priorities for women\u2019s football in the coming years,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>She also underlined the importance of building ties between countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a platform for networking. We want to see more collaboration between federations, whether through friendlies, knowledge exchange, or joint initiatives,\u201d Ghosime said.<\/p>\n<p>Director of finance Uniffac, Remy Nnang Zogo also present, took a similar approach, focusing on grassroots solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know the challenges, but change has to come from those working directly in the game,\u201d He explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTop-down pressure won\u2019t solve anything if the member associations are not taking action themselves. What matters is that local administrators identified problems, worked with instructors, and proposed solutions. Now it\u2019s our job to support them in implementing those plans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The workshop made it clear that Central Africa is not at a single pace when it comes to women\u2019s football. Some federations are still finding their footing, while others, like Cameroon, are working to deepen their influence in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery country has its own level and realities,\u201d Tagne said. \u201cWe\u2019re not here to compete with each other off the pitch. We\u2019re here to lift the entire zone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The event in Douala was more than a talk shop. It was a strategic huddle to review what\u2019s working, identify what\u2019s missing, and commit to building a stronger women\u2019s football system. With clear assignments in hand and new networks established, the next step is execution back home.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92025 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
