Nigeria to Face Egypt in Final Group C Fixture at 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations
The Super Falcons of Nigeria will play Egypt in their last Group C match at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) on Wednesday. The defending champions are seeking another positive result as the group stage concludes.
Nigeria will face an Egyptian team that has already been eliminated from the competition. Meanwhile, the other Group C match will feature Malawi against Zambia. The outcome of both games could significantly impact the final standings.
The Nigeria vs Egypt match is scheduled for Wednesday at 9pm West African Time (WAT) and will take place at the Stade Olympique de Rabat in Morocco. If Zambia defeats Malawi and Nigeria wins against Egypt, the Group C qualification picture could become complicated. In this scenario, Nigeria, Zambia, and Malawi would each have six points after three matches, and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) would need to apply its tournament regulations to determine the final standings.
The head-to-head records between the three teams could become decisive in this situation. The top two teams from each group will advance to the quarter-finals. The Nigeria vs Egypt match will be broadcast by AfroSport, an accredited WAFCON broadcaster, as well as SuperSport and CAF TV, providing fans with multiple viewing options.
With qualification positions still at stake, the Nigeria-Egypt fixture is expected to be an important game as the group stage comes to an end.
