WAFCON 2026: Super Falcons Face Crucial Egypt Test as Three Teams Reach Quarter-finals
Three teams have reportedly secured places in the WAFCON 2026 quarter-finals, while Nigeria’s Super Falcons face a tense battle to join them. Cameroon sealed qualification after beating Ghana 1-0, Morocco finished top of Group A following a draw with Senegal, and Algeria advanced with a 2-0 win over Kenya. Nigeria’s route has been far less comfortable. The Super Falcons reportedly lost 3-2 to Malawi before responding with a narrow 1-0 victory over Zambia. They now face Egypt in a crucial final group match, with a win expected to put them in a strong position to reach the last eight. The situation has renewed debate about Nigeria’s standing in African women’s football. Other teams are improving through stronger coaching, better preparation and more players competing abroad. Nigeria have the experience to recover, but defensive errors and a lack of creativity must be addressed quickly if the Super Falcons are to defend their title. Can the Super Falcons overcome Egypt and keep their WAFCON hopes alive, or will this become one of their biggest tournament disappointments?
