Women's national association football team representing Cameroon
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 .
The team was formed in the 1980s but didn't gain significant attention until the 1990s. Cameroon participated in their first major tournament, the African Women's Championship (now known as the Women's Africa Cup of Nations ), in 1991 . Cameroon quickly established itself as one of the top teams in Africa. They reached the finals of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations multiple times, winning their first title in 2002 . The team has been a consistent contender in the tournament, often finishing as runners-up. The Lionesses made their FIFA Women's World Cup debut in 2015 in Canada , where they reached the Round of 16. This was a significant achievement for the team and marked their arrival on the global stage. They also qualified for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France, again reaching the Round of 16. Cameroon qualified for the 2012 London Olympics , marking another milestone in their development. Though they did not advance past the group stage, participation in such a prestigious tournament highlighted their growing stature.
The Cameroon women's national football team plays their home matches on the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo .
