Nigeria's Super Falcons exit WAFCON after a 1-0 defeat to Cameroon in Casablanca. Maeva Nyadjou's free‑kick at the 20th minute gave Cameroon's Indomitable Lionesses a berth at next year's World Cup. Nigeria dominated possession but could not convert.

The result means Cameroon will face Morocco in Rabat, while Nigeria must battle South Africa in a play‑in to reach inter‑confederation playoffs for Brazil 2026. Nigeria's record of reaching semifinals shattered; they had struggled in the group stage, losing to Tanzania, beating Zambia, and edging Egypt 6-2.

Nigerian keeper Asisat Oshoala sat on the bench; Esther Okoronwko also unused. Cameroon's goalkeeper Michaely Bihina made pivotal saves, denying shots from Ajibade, Monday, and others. The Falcons' only shot was a cross that bounced past the net.

Despite frustration and a late substitution of Oshoala, Nigeria could not force a goal. The victory secures Cameroon’s World Cup spot and marks a historic moment for African women's football.
