Nigeria's Super Falcons have been eliminated from the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) after suffering a 1-0 quarter-final defeat to Cameroon.
The Super Falcons entered the knockout stage with high expectations after an impressive run in the group phase, but were unable to find the breakthrough against a determined Cameroonian side.
Despite Nigeria's efforts to get back into the contest, Cameroon held on to their advantage until the final whistle, securing a place in the semi-finals and ending the Super Falcons' campaign.
The defeat will come as a major disappointment to Nigeria, who remain the most successful team in the history of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations, having won the continental title nine times.
The Super Falcons will now turn their attention to rebuilding ahead of future international competitions, while Cameroon continue their pursuit of the African women's football crown.
The result has already generated reactions among Nigerian football fans, with many expressing disappointment over the early exit while commending the team for its efforts throughout the tournament.
