Super Falcons Set for Tough 2026 WAFCON Qualifier Against Benin Republic

The Super Falcons, Nigeria's women's national football team, face a tough 2026 WAFCON final qualifier against Benin Republic in October. The defending champions will play a two-legged fixture against Benin Republic, with the first match hosted by Benin and the return leg in Nigeria.

Cameroon's Indomitable Lionesses will also face Algeria in a crucial qualifier. The winners of the 11 qualifying fixtures will join Morocco as hosts of the 2026 WAFCON in March.

The tournament serves as a qualifier for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, which will expand to 48 teams in 2031. The Super Falcons seek redemption after recent defeats and aim to secure their spot in the prestigious tournament.
