Football: Real Madrid edge Inter Milan in Champions League opener ⁰

Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid secured a narrow 2-1 victory over his former side Inter Milan in a high-octane Champions League opener on Tuesday.

The record 15-time European champions took a two-goal lead through Kylian Mbappe and Fede Valverde thanks to two Inter errors in the first half.

Carlos Augusto smashed home for Cristian Chivu’s team in the second half but they could not find an equaliser at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Madrid coach Mourinho led the Italian side to Champions League glory in 2010 at the same stadium, the last time either they or he managed to lift the trophy, a few days before joining Los Blancos for his first stint at the helm.

After two seasons without a major trophy and enduring early European exits, Madrid president Florentino Perez brought back the Portuguese veteran to try and stop the rot, and Mourinho got the team off to both a triumphant and entertaining start to the league phase.

Mourinho’s side bounced back from a first defeat of the season at Real Betis in La Liga on Friday, although goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made several smart saves and Inter were wasteful.

The Italians started energetically in attack but were destabilised by two grievous errors at the back. Madrid stopper Courtois denied Marcus Thuram and then Lautaro Martinez as the visitors probed.

However, in the 14th minute Curtis Jones’s poor pass put Yann Bisseck under pressure and Brahim Diaz poked the ball through to Mbappe, who swiftly fired home.

Madrid’s second was gobbled up by Valverde when Inter goalkeeper Josep Martinez dallied on the ball despite the Uruguay international charging straight for him.

When the Spanish stopper realised, it was too late and as he tried to turn Valverde pried the ball away from him and into the net.

Mourinho’s side should have added another before half-time but Martinez made amends for his mistake with a sensational save to thwart Jude Bellingham.

Madrid hold on

Mbappe blazed past Inter’s defence and Martinez saved his low shot before somehow blocking Bellingham’s effort from point-blank range.

Bellingham missed another golden chance before the hour mark after Diaz cleverly worked his way into the area and crossed for him.

The England international might have headed home straight away but chose to control the ball and gave goalkeeper Martinez time to fly across his line and save the eventual shot.

Courtois added to his collection of impressive saves by pushing away Alessandro Bastoni’s low drive as Inter tried to find a foothold.

Madrid carved Inter open but could not put the game to bed, with Martinez saving from Mbappe and Diaz then sliding narrowly wide.

Carlos Augusto blasted past Courtois from Lautaro Martinez’s cross in the 77th minute to give Madrid a nervy ending to the game.

Madrid fans were upset when Alvaro Carreras was made to wait for a minute on the sidelines before he could come on as a substitute, because Vinicius Junior took too long to come off when he was replaced.

Courtois beat away a deflected Henrikh Mkhitaryan effort to ensure his team took all three points.

FIFA boss Infantino to seek re-election ⁰

Gianni Infantino will stand in next March’s FIFA presidential election football’s global governing body announced Sunday.

“The FIFA President announced in April that he will stand for re-election in 2027,” a FIFA spokesperson said. “Of course, nothing has changed. Mr Infantino will be standing for re-election.”

The 56-year-old Swiss has taken a pummelling since the announcement in late July of his short-lived FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) plan to bring private investment into FIFA events.

But now for the first time since the plan became public, FIFA has reiterated Infantino’s intention to run for a fourth and final term in next year’s elections.

Should he be re-elected, he will continue to serve as head of world football until 2031.

Infantino is in Poland for the Women’s Under-20 World Cup, but refused to answer queries about his future when questioned by journalists on Saturday.

Only candidate

European body UEFA has accused Infantino of “criminal mismanagement” over the scheme and was the ringleader of the initial fightback to the announcement, including threatening to boycott all FIFA competitions, including the men’s and women’s World Cups, if it was not shelved.

If UEFA withdrew its threat to boycott FIFA tournaments on August 27 – ahead of the Women’s Under-20 World Cup in Poland – it remains absolute in its conviction that Infantino must depart his role.

The European body has filed requests in the USA for the disclosure of documents related to the plan from FIFA and partners.

If successful in gaining access to the documents, UEFA had said it intends to lodge a legal complaint in Switzerland, saying it has been assured the case would meet the requirements to be heard in a Swiss court.

It has also found solid support from North American body CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in its actions against Infantino.

The three confederations have kept up the pressure and collaborated on a no-holds-barred joint letter issued last month.

Montagliani, a FIFA vice-president, had long been regarded as a close ally of Infantino, but there were signs, even before he distanced himself over the now-scrapped plan to allow private investment into World Cups, that he viewed FIFA’s purpose somewhat differently to the Swiss.

But Infantino is not without friends – 2034 World Cup hosts Saudi Arabia came out in support last month, with African football’s governing body CAF and South America’s CONMEBOL supportive, too.

Earlier in September, FIFA also accused UEFA of a “smear campaign” and a “fishing expedition” against Infantino.

As the only declared candidate so far for the election due to take place in Rabat, Infantino will need a simple majority of votes from the 211 federations affiliated to FIFA to extend his term of office, which began in 2016 and was renewed in 2023.

Candidate nominations for next year’s election must be submitted by November 18.

Indomitable Lions: Zambo Anguissa retires from international football ⁰

Napoli midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa on Monday announced his retirement from international football with Cameroon.

In a statement, the 30-year-old said wearing the shirt of the Indomitable Lions had been a childhood dream. “Playing for the Cameroon national team is the dream of every Cameroonian child. I am very happy and above all very grateful to have been able to make it come true. After many years in the service of the Cameroon national team, I have taken the decision to bring my international career to an end,” Anguissa said.

“Wearing the shirt of the Indomitable Lions has been an immense honour and a huge source of pride. I realize how fortunate I have been to represent my country, to experience unforgettable moments and to share this adventure with so many team-mates, brothers and members of staff,” he added.

He thanked the Cameroon Football Federation, coaches, teammates and fans who supported him throughout his international career.

Anguissa made his senior debut for Cameroon in March 2017 and became a mainstay in midfield. He had earned 67 caps and scored five goals as of October 2025.

He was part of the squad that won the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations shortly after his debut. He went on to represent Cameroon at several AFCON tournaments, including a third-place finish at AFCON 2021 on home soil, as well as the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup, where he scored his first international goal, and the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Indomitable Lions: Baleba has joined Man United from Brighton ⁰

Cameroon’s Carlos Baleba has joined Manchester United from Brighton and Hove Albion, the Premier League giants announced on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old is the third midfielder signed by the Red Devils during the summer transfer window.

“Manchester United is pleased to confirm that Carlos Baleba has joined the club, subject to registration,” the 20-time Premier League champions said in a statement.

His reported £70 million ($95 million) fee takes United’s spending on midfield reinforcements to more than £150m in this window.

He joins Belgium’s Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos of Brazil in a new-look United midfield after veteran Casemiro left at the end of last season.

“Baleba has already established himself as one of the most talented midfielders in the Premier League,” said United.

“During the 2024/25 season, his combined number of tackles and interceptions was the sixth-highest among midfielders in the league, while he also ranked fourth-highest for progressive ball carries per 90 minutes.”

United had been interested in signing Baleba a year ago following two impressive seasons for Brighton, but baulked at the south coast club’s asking price.

His last season was far less impressive, but that did not put off the Old Trafford club.

“It is an incredible feeling to join the club of my dreams,” said Baleba.

“Playing at Old Trafford is always special but the opportunity to do so as a Manchester United player will be a real honour.

“I cannot wait to work with Michael Carrick; his experience and knowledge of the game make him the perfect coach to help me to reach the highest level.”

Baleba had joined Brighton from French team Lille in 2023 and made 112 appearances for the Seagulls, including 35 last season.

He was hot property a year ago before his star waned a touch during the following campaign.

But it is his athleticism and combativity which have convinced United to sign him.

He ranked “in the top eight per cent of players for combined tackles and interceptions as well as the top one per cent for second balls won” last season, United said.

“Carlos is an elite midfielder with immense potential to develop further,” said United’s director of football, Jason Wilcox, who also pointed to Baleba’s determination to join the club.

“He brings a unique combination of qualities that will really complement our squad.”

Baleba is still recovering from an ankle injury he suffered during pre-season.

He has signed a five-year contract with the option of a further year, according to reports.

The fee is £65 million plus a potential £5m in add-ons.

He will compete with Tielemans, Santos, Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount for a midfield starting berth at Old Trafford.

Football: Djibouti federation accused of misusing funds ⁰

The tiny Horn of Africa nation of Djibouti is embroiled in a football corruption row after a government audit accused its federation, largely funded by FIFA, of favouritism and inadequate competitive bidding.

The recent success of Cape Verde — which reached the knockout stage of this year’s World Cup — has shown that tiny African nations can succeed with the right organisation.

So Djibouti footballers are furious at their federation over allegations it has misused money from the world football governing body, which provides the vast majority of its funding.

Funds provided by Saudi Arabia for a new headquarters for the Djibouti Football Federation are also said to have been misused.

One local club manager, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP his team would boycott this year’s league unless there was a change in leadership.

“The (Djibouti federation’s) resources are not used for the development of football,” he said.

“When I see what Cape Verde is capable of achieving… I tell myself there is a structural problem within our federation,” he added.

The allegations stem from a 2024 government inspector’s report, recently obtained by AFP, that accuse the federation of “favouritism” in awarding the contract for the headquarters, and overpricing for many elements of the contract.

FIFA, which along with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) provides more than $1 million a year to Djibouti’s federation, did not respond to queries from AFP.

A member of Djibouti’s federation, Mohamed Elmi Farah, resigned from its executive committee on August 12, expressing “concerns regarding the management and use of the federation’s resources”. He did not respond to questions from AFP.

Souleiman Hassan Waberi, the longtime head of the Djibouti Football Federation, told AFP it had been cleared of all wrong-doing by FIFA.

“FIFA has officially confirmed to us that, to date, its monitoring mechanisms have revealed no indication of wrongdoing regarding the funds it disbursed,” said Waberi, who also serves on the FIFA Council as a representative of CAF.

CAF is a major supporter of FIFA boss Gianni Infantino, who has recently courted controversy with plans to open FIFA to private investors.

Waberi acknowledged “shortcomings regarding competitive bidding” in “certain operations”, but blamed the limited availability of many items in Djibouti, which has a population of just one million, and said procedures had since improved.

The government did not respond to AFP queries.

Djibouti, ruled by President Ismael Omar Guelleh since 1999, ranks 124th out of 182 countries on Transparency International’s corruption perception index.

Samuel Eto’o, a champion’s answer to his critics ⁰

There are moments in the beautiful game when victory is more than a score line. There are moments when a trophy becomes a statement, a response to doubt and a vindication of those who dared to believe. Cameroon’s historic triumph at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations is one such moment.

The Indomitable Lionesses’ 3–0 victory over Malawi on Sunday will be remembered as the day Cameroon finally conquered Africa in the women’s game. It was the country’s first-ever African women’s title—a landmark achievement that deserves celebration far beyond the football pitch. And at the centre of this remarkable story stands Samuel Eto’o.

The former captain of the Indomitable Lions has endured intense criticism during his tenure at the helm of Cameroonian football. His leadership has been questioned; his decisions attacked and prominent voices close to the political establishment like Mathias Eric Owona Nguini-the television and talk-show professor have openly called for his departure. For his detractors, the federation under Eto’o had become synonymous with disappointment and controversy. But football has a way of delivering its own verdict.

Cameroon’s qualification for this tournament was itself a story of redemption. The Lionesses initially failed to qualify, only to receive a second chance when the four highest-ranked losing teams were invited into the competition. Cameroon seized that opportunity with both hands. What followed was not merely survival—it was transformation.

Under the pressure of expectation and criticism, the Lionesses marched all the way to the final. There, against a Malawi side that had captured the imagination of the continent with its extraordinary fairytale run, Cameroon produced a commanding 3–0 performance to lift the trophy.

That victory belongs first and foremost to the players and coaching staff who made history on the pitch. But Eto’o, as the leader of the federation, deserves recognition for being at the helm when Cameroon finally reached this summit.

His critics may not suddenly disappear, nor should one trophy erase every legitimate debate about the administration of Cameroonian football. Leadership must always remain open to scrutiny. But criticism must also be balanced with acknowledgement when achievement arrives. And this achievement is enormous.

Samuel Eto’o does not need to answer his detractors with angry words, press conferences or political arguments. The Lionesses have provided the most powerful response possible: a trophy.

For decades, Cameroon has been a giant of African football, particularly in the men’s game. The Indomitable Lions have carried the nation’s colours to continental glory on multiple occasions. Now, for the first time, the women have written their own chapter in Cameroon’s football history. Eto’o can rightly celebrate this moment.

He inherited a football culture with enormous expectations and formidable challenges. Whatever the controversies surrounding his administration, guiding Cameroonian football to its first Women’s Africa Cup of Nations crown is a milestone that cannot be dismissed.

The Lionesses have shown that a second chance can become a historic opportunity. They have shown that setbacks do not have to define a team. And they have given their federation president something no critic can take away from him: a place in the story of Cameroon’s first African women’s championship.

Samuel Eto’o has heard the criticism. On Sunday, the Indomitable Lionesses answered it. And they answered it with gold.

Cameroon celebrates as WAFCON winners return home ⁰

Thousands of Cameroonians gathered in Yaounde on Monday to celebrate the national football team after they won their first Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

The Cameroonian women were greeted by hundreds of supporters on the tarmac Monday upon their return from Morocco where they beat Malawi 3–0 in Sunday’s final to claim the 2026 WAFCON trophy.

The footballers were swept up in the sea of Cameroonian flags, jerseys and phones held high to film their arrival.

The electrifying atmosphere spilled on to the streets of the capital, where thousands of people lined up on the sidewalks to cheer the players as they passed.

“At the start of this competition, the girls were calm, and their mindset carried them to victory. They deserved it,” said Aline Mvogo, a 63-year-old housewife who was at the airport.

Cameroon’s Indomitable Lionesses claimed the title unexpectedly — they hadn’t even qualified for the tournament until a decision taken in November to expand it from 12 to 16 teams.

Although visibly tired, the players beamed at the elated crowds of supporters who sought to extend the celebrations that began the day before.

On Sunday evening, the festivities continued late into the night in several districts of Yaounde.

Music, car horns and Cameroonian flags resounded throughout the city and accompanied the outpourings of joy in the streets of the capital after the final whistle.

“At the beginning of the tournament, I wasn’t really following it. Little by little, I started to watch. I’m proud; I saw a strong and determined team,” said Florence Manga, a 26-year-old communications student.

The players paraded through the streets of the capital on Monday, proudly displaying their first Cup, amid the cheers of the thousands of people lining the roads.

Cameroonian President Paul Biya, 93, currently in Switzerland, congratulated the “valiant, talented and intrepid Indomitable Lionesses” in a post on Facebook late Sunday, hailing the trophy won at the end of a “well-executed performance”.

Women’s Africa Cup of Nations: enfin, we are champions ⁰

Cameroon, who failed to qualify for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations only to get a second chance, beat fairytale finalists Malawi 3-0 on Sunday to be crowned champions.

Marie Ngah scored twice and Naomi Eto once in the final in Rabat as the Indomitable Lionesses became queens of African football for the first time after finishing runners-up on three occasions.

Cameroon lost at home and away to Algeria in the final qualifying round, but the organisers later increased the number of teams for the tournament from 12 to 16.

The four highest ranked losers, led by Cameroon, were added for the two-yearly competition, which Morocco hosted for the third consecutive time.

It was a sad climax for Malawi, ranked 153rd in the world, who had reached the title decider with the Chawinga sisters, captain Tabitha and Temwa, scoring nine goals between them.

Among those who saw Cameroon succeed after losing the 2004, 2014 and 2016 finals to Nigeria without scoring was embattled FIFA president Gianni Infantino.

He was flanked by Confederation of African Football president Patrice Motsepe from South Africa and first vice-president Fouzi Lekjaa.

The CAF leadership have backed Infantino, who is fighting to save his job after a barrage of criticism for his aborted plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors.

Debutants Malawi defied being the lowest ranked nation at the marquee African women’s football event to reach the final after beating defending champions Nigeria, Egypt, Ghana and Algeria.

The Scorchers started the final impressively, with the power and pace of the Chawingas creating several threatening situations.

But Malawi failed to score and, as the opening half progressed, so did the performance of Cameroon, who took a 20th-minute lead.

A cross was headed off Malawi goalkeeper Mercy Sikelo onto the crossbar and Ngah nodded the rebound into the net for her fourth goal of the tournament.

As they became increasingly adventurous, Cameroon doubled the lead on 29 minutes when Eto, with her back to goal, swivelled and struck the ball into the corner of the net.

Ngah netted again three minutes into added time at the end of the opening half, heading an Eto cross into the net.

After scoring twice in the opening half, Ngah should have completed a hat-trick early in the second period but, after taking the ball past Sikelo, fired wide.

Malawi contained Cameroon as the second period progressed and Temwa Chawinga was just wide with a low shot after a goalmouth scramble.

By reaching the semi-finals, Cameroon, Malawi, third-placed Algeria and Morocco qualified for the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil.

The number of African qualifiers could swell to six as losing WAFCON quarter-finalists South Africa and Ghana have secured places in inter-continental play-offs.

Cameroon hails Lionesses after penalty shootout sends team to WAFCON final ⁰

Cameroonian officials and supporters have praised the women’s national football team after it advanced to the final of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

The Indomitable Lionesses edged host Morocco 3-1 on penalties in Rabat on Wednesday night, after 120 minutes ended 0-0 in a tense semi-final.

Minister of Sports and Physical Education Narcisse Moulle Kombi called it a “brilliant qualification”.

“With this outstanding performance, our valiant Lionesses have shown determination, solidarity, strength of character, and an exceptional fighting spirit,” Kombi said in a statement late Wednesday. “They are proudly flying Cameroon’s colors at the top of African women’s football, and now they are aiming for a new continental title.”

In Douala, Cameroon’s commercial capital, fans flooded the streets chanting in celebration, reserving special praise for goalkeeper Michaely Bihina after she saved three penalties in the shootout.

“Michaely is our savior. Her historic performance made the difference. We are so happy and we keep supporting the girls. Good luck in the final,” football fan Samuel Tabi, said.

This is Cameroon’s fourth time reaching the WAFCON final. The team has never won the tournament.

The Lionesses will face Malawi in the final on Sunday.

Indomitable Lionesses: meet Kyria Bihina our saviour ⁰

A clean sheet against record 10-time African winners and reigning champions Nigeria is the kind of result that etches your name in the history books.

Bihina’s heroics that inspired Cameroon to a historic 1-0 win did not only ensure the Indomitable Lionesses have reached the semifinals of the TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations 2026 in Morocco but it also means they have qualified for the FIFA Women’s World Cup for the first time since 2019.

Right from the first minute of the game, the 22-year old custodian was tested by the Nigerian attack led by captain Rasheedat Ajibade but she established her presence strongly.

Bihina understood the assignment. Carrying the weight of her nation on her shoulders, she showed that as the last line of resistence, Nigeria would need a miracle to go past her.

Bihina. Bihina. Bihina.

Allez! Allez! Allez [Let’s go] Bihina! The enthusiastic Cameroonian fans in the stands kept chanting her name in a bid to show their support to her. Every time, she made a save, they cheered her on and clapped for her. But most importantly, they enjoyed her jaw-dropping performance on an evening when Cameroon was desperate to register a positive result.

This was the 14^th meeting between Cameroon and Nigeria at the WAFCON – the most played fixture at the continental showpiece. Cameroon had only won once before August 9, 2026. That win was thanks to a Gaelle Enganamouit goal that inspired the Indomitable Lionesses finish third at the WAFCON 2012 edition in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea.

Bihina was eight years, 10 months and 15 days back then. A child.

Since then, Nigeria defeated Cameroon in back-to-back WAFCON finals in 2014 in Windhoek, Namibia and 2016 in the Cameroonian capital Yaounde. Cameroonians have never forgotten that loss at the fully packed Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in the capital.

At the WAFCON 2018, Nigeria edged Cameroon 4-2 on penalties after a goalless draw in the semifinals and four years later, an Ajibade lone goal was enough for Nigeria to claim the win in the quarterfinals. Cameroon did not qualify for the 2024 edition played last year.

For Bihina, who is featuring at the WAFCON for the very first time, it was about time Cameroon ended this jinx that had turned into a one-sided rivalry between the neighbours.

“I am so happy right now. This is a dream come true. Playing in my first WAFCON and being able to beat Nigeria and qualify for the World Cup is historic. I am so excited and happy that as a team we have achieved this. I’m very emotional right now,” she says with barely a voice left thanks to the celebrations after the game.

Shot stopper extraordinaire

Nine saves. A second clean sheet in four games. Only two goals conceded. This is the story of Bihina who plies her trade at Benfica in Portugal. Bihina admits that, “We had an objective going into this game – to change the history of our national team especially against Nigeria. I am happy. The team is happy. It is a great day for Cameroonian football.”

When her personal stats were projected on the stadium screen, fans and opponents alike gave her a standing ovation. It was the kind of performance that one must applaud in the spirit of fair play.

Away from the stands to the pitch, her former Benfica teammate and Nigerian midfielder Christy Onyenaturuchi Ucheibe who played her heart out in this matchup, walked up to her, hugged her and congratulated her. They exchanged jerseys. More applause from the fans.

“She praised me and said she was happy for me and that I deserve it. She is my dear friend. We have been at Benfica together and that means so much to me that she did that,” Bihina reveals exclusively to CAFOnline.

“For me personally, it has been a long journey of hard work and discipline. I continue to work with humility and try to improve every other day. I’m glad to be here playing for Cameroon.”

Born in Ekounou, Nkoldongo in Yaounde, Bihina started out as a striker and as she continued growing tall for her age, she switched to goalkeeping. “My coach told me that I was too tall to be a striker and that I would do better as a goalkeeper. I did that and six months later, I was summoned to the national team,” she remembers with a big grin on her face.

At 15, Bihina got her first test of Nigeria’s dominance when they defeated Cameroon in the final 3-2 on penalties after a goalless draw at the 2019 African Games. This stayed with her. She continued working on her craft that saw her join Portuguese second division side Racing Power. She helped them win the league title and gain promotion to the topflight division.

Her exploits attracted attention from the rest of the league but most importantly the league giants SL Benfica who successfully signed her on February 1 this year. She won the double adding the league and Portuguese Cup to her name.

Coming off this spectacular season with Benfica, Bihina has now added reaching the WAFCON 2026 last four with a chance to win the WAFCON for Cameroon for the very first time and World Cup qualification to her illustrious curriculum vitae.

N’Kono, Antoine Bell, Kameni, Onana, Bihina…

Reeling and in tears of joy, Bihina was lifted into the air by her teammates immediately center referee Antsino Twanyanyukwa blew the full time whistle. As she received the Woman of the Match Award, she could not believe it. So many emotions ran through her body. A moment of truth had come at the right place for her.

“It was a great day for me to show that Cameroon has good goalkeepers. It is an honour for me to be in the same sentence with these great Cameroonian goalkeepers who have represented our country over the years,” she says when asked about her nation’s goalkeeping legacy.

Bihina finds herself in the same sentence with Cameroonian greats like the iconic Thomas N’Kono and Joseph Antoine Bell who dominated global headlines when they won the AFCON in 1984 and 1988. A clean sheet against Diego Maradona’s Argentina in their opening match at the FIFA World Cup 1990 in Italy was the only introduction the world needed to know about Cameroon’s goalkeeping prowess.

The list is long – Jacques Songo’o, Carlos Kameni, Alioum Boukar, André Onana and his cousin Fabrice Ondoa. Cameroon has continuously produced world class goalkeepers and Bihina is keen to continue working hard to make her nation proud and to inspire other young Cameroonians – female and male to believe in themselves and to work hard.

The wall between the posts for Cameroon, Bihina, will now face yet another massive test when the Indomitable Lionesses take on the hosts and back-to-back WAFCON finalists Morocco on Wednesday at the Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat at 21h00.
