Benin's historic qualification for the U20 Women's World Cup: Romaine Gandonou's "lightning bolt" strikes again

Qualification historique du Bénin pour le Mondial féminin U20 : La "foudre" Romaine Gandonou a encore frappé

This is a major first for Beninese women's football. The national U20 team qualified yesterday, Sunday, May 10th, for the final phase of the Women's World Cup for their age group, which will take place from September 5th to 27th, 2026 in Poland.

Abdoulaye Ouzérou's team crushed Ivory Coast's young Elephants (4-1) at the Kégué Stadium in Lomé. This match was the second leg of the final qualifying round for the Polish World Cup.

The Amazons opened the scoring in the 16th minute thanks to Hosane Soukou. The ever-present Romaine Gandonou, who had already scored in the first leg at the Ebimpé stadium (1-1), added to the tally in the 31st minute. Captain Germaine Honfo then made it 3-0 just minutes before halftime.

Top scorer in the qualifying campaign

Romaine Gandonou, as is often the case, delivered the decisive blow to the visitors in the 69th minute, leaving two defenders and then the Ivorian goalkeeper in her wake. The Missérété native finished as the top scorer in this qualifying campaign with 14 goals.
