Nigeria’s Super Falcons booked their place in the quarter-finals of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in emphatic fashion after cruising to a 6-2 victory over Egypt in their final Group C fixture on Wednesday, NigeriaSoccernet.com reports.
The 10th-time African champions delivered a dominant attacking display from start to finish, bouncing back from their opening defeat to Malawi to secure a convincing win that sealed progression to the knockout stage.
The victory ensured the Super Falcons finished the group stage on six points, guaranteeing their place in the last eight while keeping their hopes of reclaiming the continental title firmly alive.
Nigeria's attacking unit proved too much for the Egyptians to handle, scoring six times in an entertaining contest despite conceding twice.
The comprehensive victory also marked a strong response from Justine Madugu's side following criticism after their shock defeat to Malawi, with the Super Falcons producing one of their most impressive attacking performances of the tournament.
The Super Falcons will now shift their attention to the quarter-finals as they continue their quest for a record-extending 11th WAFCON title.
