Cameroon eliminated Nigeria's Super Falcons from the Women’s African Cup of Nations (WAFCON) tournament with a solitary goal scored by Myriam Maéva Nyadjou in the 19th minute of their quarter-final clash. The Indomitable Lionesses took the lead and maintained it, securing their place in the semi-finals. Despite the Super Falcons' efforts to equalize, Cameroon held onto their advantage and clinched the victory.
This result ends Nigeria's quest to retain the continental title and also denies the nine-time African champions an automatic spot at the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil. However, Nigeria's journey to the World Cup is not over, as the four semi-finalists will advance directly to the competition. Nigeria must now face the play-off route, involving a quarter-final loss, which provides another opportunity to secure a World Cup berth.
