Nigeria has been eliminated from the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) following a 1-0 defeat to Cameroon.
On Sunday evening, these two West African teams competed in a quarter-final match.
The game was decided by a stunning free-kick from Myriam Maéva Nyadjou Wamen in the 19th minute.
Despite the Super Falcons’ efforts to tie the game and force it into extra time, they were unable to score.
As a result of this outcome, Justine Madugu’s team will not have the opportunity to defend the title they won against Morocco in the previous WAFCON.
Nigeria is scheduled to face South Africa in Casablanca on Thursday, contending for a place in the Inter-Confederation playoff tournament.
