Head coach Justine Madugu of the Super Falcons has criticized his team's lack of precision for their 1-0 loss to Cameroon in the Women's Africa Cup of Nations. Nigeria has been eliminated from the tournament after a defeat at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium. Myriam Nyadjou opened the scoring with a free-kick in the 19th minute. Cameroon's goalkeeper, Michaely Bihina, made a remarkable save to prevent Nigeria from winning.
The Indomitable Lionesses will meet Morocco in the semi-final in Rabat. The Super Falcons will face Banyana Banyana of South Africa in a play-in match for another chance at qualifying for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup. Madugu stated that the team's failure to capitalize on their opportunities would have altered the outcome.
