Led by captain Rasheedat Ajibade, the Super Falcons head into their quarter‑final showdown with confidence following their dominant 6–2 victory over Egypt. The team will be aiming to continue their impressive form and take another step towards both World Cup qualification and continental glory.
The Super Falcons have returned to Casablanca ahead of their 2026 WAFCON quarter‑final against the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon, scheduled for Sunday at 6:00pm Nigeria time.
As 10‑time WAFCON champions, Nigeria will be going all out to win this game, with a place at the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil at stake. Victory over Cameroon will secure Nigeria’s qualification for the global tournament and keep alive their pursuit of a record‑extending 11th WAFCON title.
Before travelling back to Casablanca, the team held a light training session earlier today as they began sharpening focus on the quarter‑final clash.
After thrashing the Cleopatras of Egypt 6–2 in their final Group C match to secure a spot in the knockout stage, the Super Falcons have now shifted fully into preparations for the crucial encounter against Cameroon.
The team will be looking to build on their emphatic victory as they prepare for what promises to be a decisive quarter‑final battle against the Indomitable Lionesses.
