The final round of Group C matches at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) will take place on Wednesday, with defending champions Nigeria facing Egypt in a decisive encounter.
While Egypt have already been eliminated from the tournament, the Super Falcons still have everything to play for as they seek a place in the quarter-finals.
At the same time, group leaders Malawi will battle Zambia in the other Group C fixture.
Qualification Scenarios
Nigeria’s qualification hopes depend on both their own result and the outcome of the Malawi-Zambia clash.
If Zambia defeat Malawi and Nigeria beat Egypt, three teams—Nigeria, Malawi and Zambia—will all finish the group stage on six points.
In that situation, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) will apply its head-to-head rules to determine the final standings among the three teams.
The two highest-ranked sides in Group C will progress to the WAFCON 2026 quarter-finals.
Kick-Off Time and Broadcast Details
Nigeria’s crucial encounter against Egypt will kick off at 9:00 p.m. West African Time (WAT) at the Stade Olympique de Rabat.
Fans can watch the match live on AfroSport, one of the tournament’s official broadcast partners. The game will also be available on SuperSport and CAF TV.
