Top-Tier Move in Douala
Authentic Ladies de Douala has officially finalized the signing of highly rated Cameroonian goalkeeper Stéphanie Tchokouha Marquise ahead of the upcoming Guinness Super League campaign. The 22-year-old shot-stopper has put pen to paper on a one-season contract to remain in the elite tier of domestic women’s football.
Escaping Regional Relegation
- The Origin: Marquise arrives at the club from local side AS Dibamba, who suffered a brutal drop out of the top flight last season.
- The Destination: Following Dibamba’s relegation into the D2 Régionale du Littoral, the technical staff moved rapidly to rescue the player to maintain her first-division status.
- The Track Record: The goalkeeper brings international experience to the squad, having previously completed a developmental stint abroad in the Turkish second division with Adana İdmanyurdu.
- The Performance: She stood out as one of the few bright spots for her former team, famously winning the individual “Woman of the Guinnessico” award during a matchday clash against Amazone FAP.
Strengthening the Goal Line
The acquisition represents a key tactical addition for Authentic Ladies as they build their roster under newly appointed manager Haman Balla. By securing a proven, agile top-flight goalkeeper, the Douala-based side is signaling their firm intentions to challenge for positions at the very top of the table.
