The Cameroonian national soccer team represents Cameroon in international women's soccer . The national team is subordinate to the Cameroonian Football Association and is coached by Carl Enow Ngachu .

The Cameroonian selection has finished second four times at the African Championship . For the first time, the team was able to qualify for the World Cup by finishing second at the 2014 African Championship and took part in the 2012 Olympic Games . Until shortly before the Olympic Games, Cameroon only played against African teams. In March 2011, the team achieved the best placement in the FIFA world rankings with 66th place, but then dropped out in qualifying for the Olympic Games in London against the World Cup participant Equatorial Guinea . Equatorial Guinea was subsequently disqualified because the player Jade Boho , who had previously played for Spain, was used in the qualifying games. Cameroon continued to take part in the qualification and played against Nigeria for a place in the Olympic football tournament. After a 1: 2 in the first leg, a 2: 1 was achieved in the second leg and then the Olympic participation was made perfect for the first time in the penalty shoot-out with 4: 3. With the two wins at the “green table”, Cameroon was able to improve its position in the FIFA world rankings published on March 16, 2012 by nine places to 52nd and took third place in Africa behind Nigeria (27th) and Ghana (51st) .

On July 8, 2012, the team played for the first time outside Africa and against a European team. In Turriff ( Scotland ) they beat Northern Ireland 2-0 .

At the 2012 Olympic Games , Cameroon met New Zealand (1-3), Brazil (0-5) and Great Britain (0-3) in the group stage . It was the first game against each of these teams. As the bottom of the group, Cameroon was eliminated after the group stage.

At the 2015 Women's World Cup , Cameroon was the only African team to make the knockout round, but were eliminated in the round of 16 against China . Still, Cameroon moved up 10 places in the FIFA world rankings to 43rd place, the best so far.
