The Cameroon national women's football team, also known as the Indomitable Lionesses, is the national team of Cameroon and is controlled by the Cameroon Football Association. They finished second in the 1991, 2004, 2014, and 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations, participated in the 2012 Olympic Games and have competed in their first ever FIFA Women's World Cup in 2015.

History

Back in the 1970s, Cameroon was one of very few countries to have a woman play for a men’s team in the top league. A true flag bearer, Emilienne Mbango was a starter for legendary Cameroonian club Leopard of Douala between 1970–1973 where she formed a sensational strike duo with a talented teenager called Roger Milla. Despite this success for Mbango it was not until the late 1980s that a national team was set up with Regine Mvoue captaining the squad to a maiden final at the Africa Cup of Nations in 1991. It would take time but women’s football began to properly blossom when Cameroon qualified for the 2012 Olympics. The Indomitable Lionesses were also hailed for finishing second at the 2014 Africa Cup of Nations, qualifying for their maiden Women’s World Cup in Canada in 2015 and eventually exiting the event in the last 16 after a 1–0 loss to China. In 2016, Cameroon hosted the country’s first Women’s Africa Cup of Nations amid great fanfare. The tournament was staged in Yaounde and Limbe and boasted record crowds at the stadiums. The hosts lost 1–0 against Nigeria in the final. However, the success of the national team has yet to make an impact on the national scene with an underfunded domestic championship staged in appalling conditions.
