Cameroon had a more straightforward route through Group D, where they defeated both Mali and Ghana before rounding off their group stage with a draw against Cape Verde — a result that carried no pressure, having already confirmed top spot.
The two countries are familiar adversaries on the continental stage, and their meeting in the knock-out round is likely to be fiercely contested. Whoever advances from the tie will then face Morocco in the semi-final.
The Atlas Lionesses, who are hosting the tournament, booked their semi-final place by beating South Africa's Bayana Bayana 2-1 in the quarter-final, extending their impressive run on home soil.
Morocco awaits in the semi-final
Should Nigeria get past Cameroon, the semi-final would be a rematch of the 2025 Women's Africa Cup of Nations final, in which the Super Falcons defeated Morocco 3-2 to claim the title.
A repeat fixture at this stage would add significant weight to what is already a high-stakes tournament for Nigerian women's football.
