The Super Falcons of Nigeria are gearing up for another big challenge at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. The team has won the title ten times before, and now they want to make it eleven. But every other country in the tournament is hungry to beat them.

Nigeria will face Malawi, Zambia, and Egypt in the group stage. These teams are all looking to stop the Falcons from adding another trophy to their collection.

Why Nigeria Is the Team to Beat

Who Will Challenge Nigeria in 2026?

The group stage will not be easy for Nigeria. Each opponent has its own strengths and reasons to believe.

• Zambia has improved a lot in recent years and has players like Barbra Banda who can change a game.
• Egypt is a rising team in women’s football and will fight hard for every point.
• Malawi may be the underdog, but they have nothing to lose and will try to surprise the champions.
