Nigeria's Super Falcons face a must-win fixture against Zambia in their second group stage match at the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) on Saturday, August 1, 2026, with kick-off at Stade Al Madina in Rabat set for 9 PM Nigerian time.
The match carries enormous stakes for Nigeria. A shock 3-2 loss to Malawi in their opening game has left the Super Falcons in a precarious position, needing victory against Zambia to keep their qualification hopes alive.

For context, this WAFCON also serves as a qualifying tournament for the 2026 FIFA Women's World Cup, raising the pressure further on the record African champions.
The Super Falcons will face a Zambia side riding high in confidence after a commanding 6-0 demolition of Egypt in the first round of group fixtures. The margin of that victory makes Zambia one of the most in-form teams at the tournament heading into Saturday's encounter.
Nigeria, by contrast, were undone by debutants Malawi, the Scorchers, who claimed one of the biggest upsets in recent WAFCON history with their opening-day win. The Super Falcons will need to significantly improve their performance to overcome a Zambian side that has shown considerable quality.
Where to watch Nigeria vs Zambia
According to CAF, Nigerian supporters have several options to follow the match. Popular platforms DStv and GOtv will both broadcast the game, along with their respective streaming services. Fans without a subscription can also catch the action on free-to-air channel Afro Sports.
A positive result for the Super Falcons on Saturday would reignite their bid to progress from the group stage and secure one of the coveted spots at the 2026 FIFA Women's World Cup.
