In a crucial Group B match at the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) held in Morocco, Nigeria secured a vital victory over Zambia, keeping their quarterfinal hopes alive. The match took place on August 1, 2026, in Rabat.
According to the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Nigeria won 2-0, with goals from Asisat Oshoala and Rasheedat Ajibade. The win puts Nigeria in a strong position to advance from the group stage.
Zambia, despite the loss, still have a chance to qualify depending on other results. The tournament, which runs from July 25 to August 15, 2026, features 12 teams competing for the continental title.
Nigeria, a record 11-time champion, will look to build on this momentum in their final group match. The top two teams from each group, along with the two best third-placed teams, advance to the quarterfinals.
