Falcons Learn WAFCON 2026 Foes as Madugu Misses CAF Honour

Nigeria’s Super Falcons have been drawn alongside Zambia, Egypt and Malawi in Group C of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, following the final draw in Rabat. The expanded tournament will feature 16 teams for the first time, with Morocco hosting again from March 17 to April 3, across Rabat, Casablanca and Fes.

Nigeria will renew their rivalry with Zambia’s Copper Queens, recalling a dominant 5-0 quarter-final win in 2024, en route to a record-extending 10th title.

Egypt and Malawi complete the group, presenting tricky tests but little margin for complacency.

Elsewhere, Morocco lead Group A, South Africa headline Group B, while Ghana anchor Group D.

Four venues will host matches across three cities as Nigeria will target qualification and pursue an unprecedented 11th continental title.
