Super Falcons resume training in Rabat ahead of crucial Egypt clash

Nigeria’s Super Falcons resumed training on Monday night at 6 pm at the ASFAR training centre in Rabat, Morocco, as they prepare for Wednesday’s Women’s Africa Cup of Nations Group C match against Egypt’s Cleopatras at the Olympic Stadium, Rabat. The session follows a hard‑earned 1‑0 victory over Zambia’s Copper Queens on Saturday night, after opening the tournament with a 3‑2 loss to Malawi’s Scorchers. Coach Justine Madugu’s side needs a decisive win over Egypt to secure a quarter‑final berth; a draw or loss would jeopardize their qualification hopes.

The training session is expected to focus on tactical adjustments and finishing, building on the defensive solidity shown against Zambia. With only one point from two matches, the Falcons must win to guarantee progression, making the Egypt clash a must‑win encounter for Nigeria’s women’s football hopes in the 2026 WAFCON.

Will the Super Falcons’ improved defence and attacking firepower be enough to overcome Egypt and keep their quarter‑final dream alive, or will they need to rely on other results in Group C?
