Nigeria set for quarter-final test against Zambia after solid Round‑of‑16 showing
The Nigerian Super Falcons secured their place in the WAFCON quarter-finals following a disciplined goalless draw with Algeria on July 13. The result ensured Nigeria progressed alongside South Africa and Morocco into the knockout stages.
With confidence high, coach Randy Waldrum emphasised that the team’s primary target remains winning the trophy—“Mission X” continues. Goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie underlined the challenge: “No team is a pushover… we will try to bring this trophy home.”
Preparations are underway for the quarter-final match against Zambia, scheduled for July 19 at Berkane Stadium. Analysts expect a tight contest, given Zambia’s rising performance trajectory in recent tournaments.
The Super Falcons have delivered a resilient and tactical performance—this next match could define their campaign’s momentum and credibility in continental football.
