Nigeria secured their place in the quarter-finals of the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) with a commanding 6-2 victory over Egypt on Wednesday. The match, held in Morocco, saw the Super Falcons produce a dominant attacking display to seal top spot in their group.
The Nigerian side, record eight-time champions, took control early and never looked back. Goals came from multiple players, with the team's clinical finishing proving too much for the Egyptian defense. Egypt managed two goals but were unable to mount a comeback against the relentless Nigerian attack.
With this result, Nigeria advances to the knockout stage with a perfect group-stage record. The quarter-finals are scheduled to take place later this week, with Nigeria set to face a yet-to-be-determined opponent.
The victory extends Nigeria's impressive run in the competition, as they continue their pursuit of a ninth continental title. Egypt, meanwhile, will be disappointed after conceding six goals but can take heart from their qualification campaign.
