The Nigerian Super Falcons will intensify their preparations for the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) by participating in a high-profile WAFU B Four-Nation invitational tournament. Ivory Coast will host the competition from February 27 to March 7, 2026, providing a critical testing ground for the continent’s top sides. Nigeria joins regional rivals Ghana and Senegal in the tournament, alongside the host nation, as all four participants finalize their tactical setups for the continental showpiece.
This regional clash serves as a strategic rehearsal since all four competing nations have already secured their spots for WAFCON 2026. The technical crews intend to use the matches to assess player fitness and refine team cohesion under competitive conditions. Following the conclusion of the WAFU tournament in Abidjan, the focus will shift immediately to Morocco, which serves as the host nation for the final tournament.
The 2026 WAFCON finals will commence in Morocco on March 17 and conclude with the championship match on April 3. As the defending champions, the Super Falcons aim to use this preparatory window to ensure they maintain their dominance on the African stage. Success in Morocco also carries global significance, as the tournament offers direct qualification routes for the next FIFA Women’s World Cup.
