The team concluded its <strong>third pre-match training camp in Douala<\/strong> before flying to Algeria on <strong>20 October<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The travelling party boasts several key figures, including <strong>captain Gabrielle Aboudi Ongu\u00e9n\u00e9<\/strong> of CSKA Moscow, <strong>Nchout Njoya Ajara<\/strong>, <strong>Falone Meffoumettou<\/strong>, and <strong>Toko Njoya<\/strong> of Real Madrid CF. The squad also welcomes back goalkeeper <strong>Michaely Biyina<\/strong>, who plays in Portugal, strengthening Cameroon\u2019s options between the posts.<\/p>\n<p>Cameroon last met Algeria in <strong>WAFCON 2018<\/strong>, when they won <strong>3-0<\/strong> courtesy of goals from <strong>Nchout, Gabrielle Aboudi, and Ga\u00eblle Enganamouit<\/strong>. Since that meeting, much has changed. Algeria has steadily risen in African women\u2019s football, reaching the latter stages of the <strong>recent WAFCON in Morocco<\/strong> and giving eventual champions Nigeria a difficult challenge. Meanwhile, Cameroon missed out on that tournament for the <strong>first time in history<\/strong>, making this qualifier a key step in reclaiming their status among Africa\u2019s elite.<\/p>\n<p>The Lionesses will be eager to take a strong result from Oran ahead of the decisive return leg at the <strong>Japoma Stadium<\/strong> in Douala. With a blend of experience and youth, Cameroon will be looking to rediscover their continental dominance as they begin their journey toward the <strong>2026 Women\u2019s Africa Cup of Nations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92025 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
