History

Because there were few to no official international competitions, few countries around the world had established women's futsal teams. At the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics, the first edition to feature futsal, Cameroon qualified for the women's tournament after Nigeria, initially qualified, declined to participate. As a result, Cameroon, being the next highest-ranked side, earned the spot.{{cite web |last=Nolla|first=Frida|date=29 August 2018|title=Jeux Olympique de la Jeunesse : le Cameroun et l'Égypte représenteront l'Afrique en Futsal

During the tournament, Cameroon recorded two wins and two losses, finishing third in their group and sixth overall.{{cite web |last=Tjeega|first=Sylvie|date=8 October 2018|title=Jeux olympiques de la jeunesse 2018 : Le Cameroun écrase le République Dominicaine (9-1)|language=fr|url=https://www.camerounsports.info/28133-jeux-olympiques-de-la-jeunesse-2018-le-cameroun-ecrase-le-republique-dominicaine-9-1.html|website=camerounsports.info|access-date=26 April 2025}}

Nearly seven years later, with the establishment of the FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup and subsequently the Women's Futsal Africa Cup of Nations, Cameroon formed its senior women's futsal team, once again under the leadership of Louis Epée, who had previously coached the Youth Olympic squad. The team entered the inaugural edition of the 2025 Women's Futsal Africa Cup of Nations in Rabat, Morocco.{{cite web |date=5 April 2025|title=Louis René Epée (Cameroon): We aim to be the first CAF Futsal Women's Africa Cup of Nations champions|url=https://www.cafonline.com/caf-womens-futsal-africa-cup-of-nations/news/louis-rene-epee-cameroon-we-aim-to-be-the-first-caf-futsal-womens-africa-cup-of-nations-champions/|website=cafonline.com|publisher=CAF|access-date=26 April 2025}} Cameroon made its international debut on 24 April, suffering a 1–7 defeat to the host nation,{{cite web |last=Mbopda|first=Daniel|date=25 April 2025|title=CAN Futsal 2025 : le Cameroun se fait humilier par le Maroc|language=fr|url=https://www.camfoot.com/actualites/can-futsal-2025-le-cameroun-se-fait-humilier-par-le-maroc,516277.html|website=camfoot.com|access-date=26 April 2025}} but rebounded two days later with a 6–5 victory over Namibia to secure a place in the semifinals.{{cite web |date=26 April 2025|title=Cameroon reinstated for the semifinals.|language=fr|url=https://www.lopinion.ma/CAN-f-Futsal-Maroc-25-Le-Cameroun-repeche-pour-les-demi-finales_a66740.html|website=lopinion.ma|access-date=26 April 2025}}
