NIGERIA’S Super Falcons have been eliminated from the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations after losing 1-0 to Cameroon in the quarter final on Sunday in Morocco. The defeat also ended Nigeria’s hopes of securing an automatic place at the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil through a semi-final finish at the continental tournament. Cameroon took the lead in the 19th minute and held on despite sustained pressure from the Super Falcons, who dominated large periods of the game but failed to find an equaliser. The Super Falcons intensified their pressure after the break, but Cameroon remained resolute in defence. Therefore, while the Super Falcons’ World Cup hopes remain alive, they now face a more difficult route to Brazil, where the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup is taking place.
