Defending champions, Nigeria, have been drawn against Zambia, Egypt, and Malawi in Group C of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The Super Falcons, record `10 times winners, will play the Group C games at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca, Morocco.
Nigeria’s match against the Copper Queens will be a reenactment of their quarter-final outing in the 2025 edition of the tournament. The Super Falcons thrashed the Zambians 5-0 in that match.
Morocco, runners-up in the last two editions of the WAFCON, are up in Group A against Algeria, Kenya, and Senegal. Games in that lot will be played at the Moulay Al Hassan Stadium in Rabat.
Meanwhile, former champions South Africa were drawn with Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, and Tanzania in Group B.
The Banyana Banyana are expected to make the knockouts and relaunch their bid to reclaim the title. All Group B matches are at the Al Madina Stadium in Rabat.
Giants Ghana and Cameroon will feature in Group D alongside Mali and Cape Verde at the Complexe Sportif de Fès.
The WAFCON is regarded as one of the toughest in the tournament, which runs from 17 March to 3 April, 2026.
This year’s edition, which was supposed to be held one year ago, will serve as the qualifiers for the 2027 Women’s World Cup. The top four teams will represent Africa in the competition billed for Brazil.
