Nigeria’s Super Falcons will face arch-rivals South Africa’s Banyana Banyana in Casablanca on Thursday, with a place in the playoff spot for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup at stake.
The encounter offers the Super Falcons a second opportunity to keep their hopes of playing at next year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil alive after their 1-0 quarter-final defeat to Cameroon ended their defence of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title.
