CAN féminine Maroc 2026 : le Nigeria et le Malawi en quarts de finale au bout du suspense
The suspense was total this Wednesday to determine the two teams that qualified for the quarter-finals in Group C.
Reigning African champions Nigeria experienced a rollercoaster of emotions before securing their qualification. The Super Falcons comfortably defeated Egypt 6-2, a victory that allowed them to finish second in their group.
Having lost to Malawi on the first day, the Nigerian women ultimately finished ahead of Zambia thanks to a better goal difference.
For its part, Zambia thought it had done enough by defeating Malawi (2-1). This result seemed to guarantee them a place in the quarter-finals, but the scenario ultimately turned in favor of the Malawians.
A real mess ensued at the final whistle. While they thought they were eliminated, the Malawi players learned that they had actually qualified for the next stage of the competition.
In the final standings, Malawi finished top of Group C with 6 points, ahead of Nigeria, also with 6 points. Zambia, despite their victory over Malawi and a superior goal difference, were eliminated.
Malawi and Nigeria therefore continue their journey in this Women's AFCON 2026, while Zambia leaves the competition after a particularly eventful end to the group stage.
