At the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Awards ceremony in 2026, three former players of Éclair Football Féminin de Sa’a were highlighted for representing Cameroon, reinforcing the nation’s growing presence on the continental football stage.
The CAF Awards, an annual event organized by the governing body of African football, recognises outstanding performances by players, coaches and officials across the continent. This year’s ceremony included a special focus on emerging talent from Cameroon’s domestic leagues.
The three alumni of Éclair FF de Sa’a, a club based in the town of Sa’a, were celebrated for carrying the colours of Cameroon at the awards. Their inclusion signals the increasing visibility of Cameroonian women’s football at major African events.
The recognition follows recent acclaim for Cameroonian male footballers Christian Onana and André Onana, whose performances have drawn attention to the country’s football development. Their work, noted in the lead‑up to the awards, has helped raise the profile of Cameroonian talent across both men’s and women’s games.
Cameroon, a nation with a rich football heritage that includes multiple Africa Cup of Nations titles, continues to produce players who compete at the highest levels of African football. The presence of the Éclair FF de Sa’a graduates at the CAF Awards underscores the depth of the country’s talent pipeline and its ongoing contribution to the sport on the continent.
