Fun Facts about Michaely

Discover more than stats. Get more of who she is.

She started playing football at just four or five years old. Growing up in the Ekounou neighbourhood of Yaoundé, she played with boys because there was no girls' team readily available.

She began her career as a striker, not a goalkeeper. Her coach suggested moving her into goal because of her height, and just six months later she received a national-team call-up.

She once scored twice after being moved from goalkeeper to centre-forward. Éclair were short of players for an away match in Bamenda, so Bihina stepped into attack and scored a brace.

She is also a talented singer. Away from football, singing is one of her artistic interests, earning her a reputation as more than just a goalkeeper.

She saved four penalties against Morocco at WAFCON 2026. After stopping one during extra time, she saved three more in the shootout to help Cameroon reach the final.
