Super Falcons head coach Justine Madugu aims to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations by winning their final Group C match against Egypt. The defending champions will face the North Africans at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat, with kick-off scheduled for 9 p.m. Nigerian time. Madugu emphasized that the team will not rely on results from other matches, as they have analyzed all possible qualification scenarios and are determined to control their fate.
Nigeria currently holds third place in Group C, with two points, while Egypt has six points. A win for Nigeria, coupled with a potential failure of Zambia to beat Malawi, would guarantee their progression to the knockout stage.
