On Wednesday, 5 August 2026, the Super Falcons will go up against Egypt’s Cleopatra Queens in their concluding Group C match of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), with the match set to begin at 9:00 p.m.
The Nigerian team arrives for this match buoyed by their recent 1-0 victory over Zambia, a performance that helped them bounce back from their previous loss to Malawi. A win against Egypt would enhance the Falcons’ chances of advancing to the quarter-finals and support their quest to defend their title.
Nevertheless, the ten-time African champions will be missing midfielder Jennifer Echegini for this important encounter. According to Softfootball, the Paris Saint-Germain player is under suspension after receiving her second yellow card in the tournament during the win over Zambia, leading to an automatic one-match ban.
