WAFCON 2026: How Super Falcons can qualify for 2027 World Cup after Cameroon defeat

Nigeria can still qualify for the 2027 Women’s World Cup, despite getting eliminated from the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, WAFCON, on Sunday.
The Super Falcons lost 1-0 to Cameroon in their quarter-final clash.
If the 10-time African champions had defeated the Indomitable Lionesses, they would have grabbed one of the automatic tickets for the World Cup.
However, they will not be among the four teams from the continent that will qualify directly for the tournament.
Instead, Nigeria have another route available through the African play-offs and the FIFA inter-confederation play-off tournament.
