Super Falcons Crush Egypt 6-2 to Secure WAFCON Quarter-Final Spot

Nigeria’s Super Falcons advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations following a dominant 6-2 victory over Egypt in their final Group C fixture.

The defending champions entered the match needing a strong result to secure progression after a surprising opening loss to Malawi and a narrow win over Zambia. Under the guidance of coach Justine Madugu, the team delivered an attacking masterclass against the Pharaohs to keep their bid for a record-extending 11th continental title alive.

Having completed a successful group stage turnaround, the Super Falcons will now turn their focus to the knockout stages in Morocco as they await their next opponents.
