The Super Falcons will face Egypt’s Cleopatra Queens in their final Group C fixture of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) on Wednesday, 5 August 2026 with kick‑off scheduled for 9:00 p.m.
Nigeria heads into the encounter full of confidence after edging Zambia 1–0, a result that helped them recover from their earlier defeat to Malawi. Another victory against Egypt would strengthen the Falcons’ hopes of securing a place in the quarter‑finals and keep their title defence firmly on course.
However, the 10 times African champions will be without midfielder Jennifer Echegini for the decisive clash. Softfootball understands the Paris Saint‑Germain star is suspended after receiving her second yellow card of the tournament during the win over Zambia, triggering an automatic one‑match ban.
