Cameroon goalkeeper Michaely Bihina has become the new African Goal Queen, delivering one of the most extraordinary goalkeeping performances ever seen at the WAFCON.
Softfootball gathered that the 22‑year‑old made four incredible penalty saves in the semi‑final against Morocco one during extra time and three more in the shootout confirming her status as Africa’s standout goalkeeper.
She was also phenomenal in Cameroon’s 1–0 win over Nigeria in the quarter‑finals of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, producing another commanding display that kept the Indomitable Lionesses in the tournament.
These back‑to‑back Woman of the Match performances have placed the Benfica and Indomitable Lionesses star on course for major honours. She could be cruising towards the Team of the Tournament, the Best Goalkeeper of WAFCON 2026, the CAF Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year, and even a nomination for the CAF Women’s Player of the Year.
