Real Madrid hail Achta Toko after Cameroon’s continental crown

Real Madrid have congratulated Achta Toko after the Cameroon women’s national team won the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, praising their player as part of a squad that reached the summit of African football.

Cameroon’s success followed a remarkable campaign in which the Indomitable Lionesses established themselves as the leading side in the continent’s premier women’s competition. Their victory attracted international attention, with major European clubs recognising the quality, determination and competitive spirit shown by the team.

Toko was among the players whose performances helped Cameroon secure the title. Her decisive displays were a source of pride for Real Madrid, who responded soon after the final with an official message directed at both the national team and their player.

“Congratulations to the Cameroon national team, and especially to our Madrid player Achta Toko, for the well-deserved Africa Cup of Nations title. Congratulations, Cameroon!”

The message underlined the significance of Toko’s contribution to Cameroon’s triumph. Real Madrid’s reference to their “Madrid player” also highlighted the connection between the club and the midfielder as identified by the source during a landmark moment for the national team.

Cameroon’s title represents the culmination of a standout run at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. The team’s performances were described as both impressive and forceful, earning recognition beyond the African football scene and drawing praise from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

For Toko, the tournament provided an opportunity to make a decisive impact on one of the continent’s biggest stages. Her contribution was singled out by Real Madrid as the club celebrated a success that had brought national attention to the Indomitable Lionesses.

The Spanish club’s public tribute came immediately after the final, ensuring that its congratulations were issued as Cameroon’s achievement was being celebrated. Rather than limiting its message to the team as a whole, Real Madrid specifically highlighted Toko and her role in the campaign.

Cameroon’s victory has therefore been marked both as a collective achievement for the national side and as a personal milestone for Toko. The warm wording of Real Madrid’s statement reflected the pride prompted by her performances and the importance of the Africa Cup of Nations title.

With the Indomitable Lionesses now crowned champions of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, Toko’s contribution has been recognised on an international stage. Real Madrid’s tribute ensured that one of the club’s players was placed at the centre of the celebrations following Cameroon’s success.
