Super Falcons head coach, Justine Madugu, has described his team’s upcoming clash with Cameroon at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations as a decisive test, DAILY POST reports.
The defending champions secured a place in the quarter-finals following an emphatic 6-2 victory over the Cleopatras of Egypt at the Olympic Stadium, Rabat, on Wednesday night.

“It’s a final for us. We won’t take it for granted,” Madugu told reporters after his side’s victory over Egypt.
The gaffer also admitted that they put themselves in a difficult position after losing to Malawi in their first game.
“We put ourselves in a very difficult position, but thank God we managed to get out of it.The competition is just starting for us,” added Madugu.
