Kick-off is set for 20:00 GMT at the Rabat Olympic Stadium. In this third-round Group C fixture, Nigeria, with 3 points, take on a winless Egypt. The Nigerians' mission is crystal clear: win and guarantee a spot in the quarter-finals of WAFCON Morocco 2026.

Nigeria are favorites, Egypt play for pride

After a 2-3 defeat to Malawi and a 1-0 win over Zambia, the Super Falcons must now finish the job. Technically superior, they face an Egyptian side that has struggled defensively. A 0-6 loss to Zambia, 1-3 against Malawi: it’s a daunting challenge for the Pharaohs.

Nigeria haven’t lost to any North African side in regulation time since 1998, and they’re looking to reinforce their dominance by clinching second place in the group. A win will seal the deal, while top spot will depend on the result of Malawi vs Zambia.

Official lineups:

Nigeria: Nnadozie — Babajide — Ohale — Payne — Oshoala — Echegini — Ucheibe — Abiodun — Ajibade — Eze — Oladipo

Egypt: Habiba.S — Abdelwahid — Nora — Ghazi — Amira.M — El Mahdi — Menna.T — Bakhtash — Bebo — Yasmin.M — M.Ali

On paper, the contest looks one-sided. The big question remains: will Egypt pull off a shock, or will the Super Falcons stamp their authority and book their place in the WAFCON 2026 quarter-finals?
