Following Nigeria's shocking 2026 WAFCON exit, here is how the Super Falcons can still qualify for the 2027 Women's World Cup.
Nigeria’s hopes of qualifying for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup have suffered a major setback, but the Super Falcons are not out of the race yet.
The 10-time African champions were knocked out of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) after a 1-0 quarter-final defeat to Cameroon on Sunday.
The defeat means Nigeria missed out on one of Africa’s four automatic tickets to next year’s World Cup in Brazil. The four WAFCON semi-finalists (Algeria, Morocco, Cameroon and Malawi) have secured those spots.
