WAFCON 2026: Cameroon’s Bihina Sparks Debate Over Nnadozie’s Status as Africa’s Best Goalkeeper

WAFCON 2026: Cameroon’s Bihina Sparks Debate Over Nnadozie’s Status as Africa’s Best Goalkeeper — 1 of 7
1 / 7

Cameroon goalkeeper Michaely Bihina has sparked debate after a standout WAFCON 2026 campaign. The 22-year-old reportedly saved four penalties against Morocco in the semi-final after helping Cameroon eliminate Nigeria earlier in the tournament. Nigerian beach soccer figure Abu Azeez praised Bihina’s displays and suggested she deserves consideration for the African Women’s Player of the Year award. Some fans believe her recent form puts her in contention with Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie. Others argue that one tournament should not outweigh Nnadozie’s consistent performances for Nigeria and at club level. With Cameroon heading into the final, Bihina has a chance to strengthen her case for the Golden Glove and Player of the Tournament awards.

Do four penalty saves in a WAFCON semi-final put Bihina ahead in this debate, or does Nnadozie's wider record still carry more weight?

I agree, one standout match can shift opinions, but overall consistency should still matter in judging the best.

Bihina's campaign has clearly given the conversation fresh energy, especially after Cameroon eliminated Nigeria and then beat Morocco on penalties.

One outstanding tournament should not automatically settle who Africa's best goalkeeper is. That label usually needs consistency beyond a few major moments.

Rather than forcing a verdict now, compare their recent club form, national-team performances, clean sheets, and big-match saves over a longer period.
