The Equatorial Guinean national football team represents Equatorial Guinea in international women's football . The national team is subordinate to the Equatorial Guinean Football Association and is coached by Jean Paul Mpila . The selection took part in the finals of the African Championship for the first time in 2006 and was able to win this competition for the first time in 2008 as a host. Equatorial Guinea has not yet qualified for the Olympic Games, and in 2010 the African Championship qualified for a World Cup for the first time. There the team met Norway , Australia and Brazil in the preliminary round and was eliminated as the bottom of the group. Previously, Equatorial Guinea only competed against other African teams in competitive games. On June 18, 2011, a European team was played for the first time in preparation for the World Cup. The Africans beat Luxembourg (95th place in the FIFA world rankings) 8-0.
In December 2013, the team reached 51st place, the best ever ranking in the FIFA world rankings. All previous home games have been played in the capital Malabo .
In qualifying for the African Cup of Nations 2014 , the team failed due to the away goals rule after a 1-1 draw in Ivory Coast and a 2-2 draw at home.

background
After the team won the continental title in 2008 and qualified for the World Cup in 2010, discussions arose in Africa that several players were men. Several member associations of the Confédération Africaine de Football , including Cameroon, Nigeria and Ghana, had doubts about women, especially Genoveva Añonma and the two siblings Bilguissa and Salimata Simporé .
