The Super Falcons of Nigeria on Wednesday night booked a spot in the quarter final stage at the women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) 2026 competition in Morocco by beating Egypt 6-2. Asisat Oshoala started the goals rush, and she was joined by Gift Monday, Uchenna Kanu, Christy Ucheibe, captain Raheedat Ajibade, and Joy Omewa. 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.
