Defending champions Nigeria will take on Egypt in a crucial Group C fixture at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) on Wednesday as the Super Falcons seek to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the competition.
The encounter, scheduled for the Rabat Olympic Stadium in Morocco, is one of the final Group C matches and could determine Nigeria’s fate in the tournament.
Kick-off is set for 9:00 p.m. Nigerian time (WAT), with the other group fixture between Malawi and Zambia taking place simultaneously.
Nigeria head into the game under pressure after an inconsistent start to their title defence. Despite showing flashes of quality, the Super Falcons must avoid complacency against an Egyptian side already out of contention but eager to end their campaign on a positive note.
A victory would significantly boost Nigeria’s chances of reaching the knockout stage, although their final position in the group will also depend on the outcome of the Malawi versus Zambia clash.
The simultaneous kick-offs mean qualification permutations could change throughout the evening.
