The Super Falcons will not only be chasing victory against Egypt when they take to the pitch on Wednesday night but could also be fighting for the top spot in Group C as the race for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations quarter finals reaches its climax.
Nigeria face an already eliminated Egyptian side in Rabat, while group leaders Malawi lock horns with Zambia in the other decisive Group C fixture.
If Zambia defeat Malawi and Nigeria overcome Egypt, all three teams would finish the group stage on six points, leaving the Confederation of African Football’s tie break criteria to determine the group winner and runner up.
