Cameroon have crowned a historic WAFCON 2026 campaign by sweeping past surprise finalists Malawi 3-0 in Rabat to lift their maiden title. FIFA president Gianni Infantino hailed the expanded 16-team tournament as a "huge success" after both nations qualified for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Aitana Bonmati has won each of the last three Ballons d'Or Feminin - but the accolade will go to someone else in 2026.
