Nigeria’s Super Falcons produced a dominant attacking display to defeat Egypt 6–2 in their final Group Stage match of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), securing qualification for the quarter-finals.
The emphatic victory marked a remarkable turnaround for the nine-time African champions, who opened their campaign with a disappointing defeat to Malawi before bouncing back with an impressive win over Zambia. The convincing triumph over Egypt ensured Nigeria finished the group stage on a high and kept their quest for another continental title firmly on track.
The Super Falcons showcased their attacking quality throughout the encounter, overwhelming the Egyptian side with clinical finishing and relentless pressure. Despite Egypt finding the net twice, Nigeria remained in complete control to record one of the tournament’s most convincing victories.
With qualification now secured, attention shifts to the knockout stage, where Nigeria will face Cameroon in a highly anticipated quarter-final clash scheduled for August 9. The encounter promises to be another fierce contest between two of Africa’s traditional women’s football powerhouses.
The Super Falcons will be aiming to carry their impressive momentum into the last eight as they continue their pursuit of a record-extending WAFCON title.
