Nigeria’s Super Falcons have advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations following a dominant 6-2 victory over Egypt in their final Group C fixture.
The defending champions entered the match needing a strong result to secure progression after a surprising opening loss to Malawi and a narrow win over Zambia.
Under the guidance of coach Justine Madugu, the team delivered an attacking masterclass against the Pharaohs to keep their bid for a record-extending 11th continental title alive.
Having completed a successful turnaround in the group stage, the Super Falcons will now shift focus to the knockout stages in Morocco as they await their next opponents.
The nine-time champions remain favorites to lift the trophy again this year.
