Cameroonian goalkeeper Bihina returned to Benfica, a Portuguese women's football club, after being distinguished as the best player of the 2026 African Nations Cup (CAN). This international recognition emerges as a determining factor for her return to the red-and-white club.
Bihina had previously represented Benfica, having accumulated significant experience in European women's football. Her outstanding performance during the African tournament caught the attention of the Portuguese club, which decided to bring her back after her success in the continental competition.
The distinction as best player of CAN 2026 represents an important milestone in the Cameroonian goalkeeper's career. This award recognizes not only her technical skills as a goalkeeper, but also the impact she had on the Cameroon national team's campaign during the tournament.
Bihina's return to Benfica significantly strengthens the Portuguese club's defensive sector, which can benefit from the experience and quality the player demonstrated at the highest level of African football.
