The Super Falcons of Nigeria have reached the quarter-final of the women’s Africa Cup of Nations WAFCON 2026 in Morocco following a 6-2 win over Egypt. The Justin Madugu-led ladies claimed victory on the heels of three penalty kicks awarded Nigeria in a match the referee pointed to the spot four times, no thanks to VAR reviews. Egypt squeezed their way back into the match in added time thanks to another VAR-awarded penalty for Michelle Alozie’s obstruction of an Egyptian forward. The WAFCON champions finish Group C with six points from three matches, same as Malawi, and Zambia who defeated Malawi 2-1 on the night. The results mean Nigeria finish as runners-up while Malawi top the group based on goals scored in head-to-head matches.
