The second leg of the second elimination round of the women’s football event at the Paris 2024 Olympics ended on Tuesday with several matches played across Africa.

Defeated 2-0 in the first leg, Cameroon overthrew Uganda to snatch their ticket for the next stage. Without trembling, the Indomitable Lionesses rolled with achievements from Nchout Njoya Ajara, Monique Ngock and Meffometou.
