The 7th edition of the World military games is currently on in Wuhan China, but unfortunately, the military lionesses of Cameroon have bowed out after a great ride.

Th lionesses with 4 points failed to qualify for the semi finals as a result of goals difference between them and team Brazil.Brazil with the same four points qualified because they had a total of four goals, while Cameroon had just two. North Korea finished top of group B with nine points, follow by Brazil and Cameroon with four points each and then France at the bottom with no point and no goal.

Though the lionesses did not quality for the semi finals, their performance at the competition is commendable for first timers; beating France, drawing against Brazil and suffering just one defeat to the Korean side. Hopefully, they will do better in the next edition.

On Thursday, host and winner of Group A China will take on Group B runner up Brazil while winner of group B North Korea will battle it out with South Korea at the Hankou Cultural Sports Center in Wuhan.
