Head to Head

Cameroon have a commanding lead of seven victories to none against Mali, with one draw in eight meetings.

Cameroon Women Form

Cameroon played just one tune-up match before the start of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations in July, beating Benin comfortably by three goals to one.

Before that performance, Cameroon faced pre-tournament favourites, Nigeria, in back-to-back friendly internationals, winning 1-0 before losing 3-1.

The Indomitable Lionesses have won two of their last five fixtures, with three defeats. They scored six goals and conceded seven.

Cameroon have not been at their fluent best in recent outings, but will start confidently against Mali, having never lost to their opponents, recording seven victories and one draw.

Mali Women Form

Mali did not have much success in their WAFCON warm-up matches played between June and July. They drew 0-0 and 2-2 with Burkina Faso before losing 1-0 to the Ivory Coast.

Before that, Mali played a friendly international against Morocco, drawing 1-1 with the hosts of the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations.

The Women Eagles have drawn three of their last five matches, with two defeats and one draw. They scored five goals and conceded eight.

Mali have been struggling with form, having registered just one victory in their last eight fixtures, which is not the ideal form to have coming into the Group D clash with Cameroon.
