The Super Falcons defeated their Cameroonian opponents 1-0 on Thursday night to qualify for the Semi-finals of the ongoing WAFCON.
The victory also qualifies the team to appear for the ninth consecutive time at the World Cup.
Rasheedat Ajibade scored the only goal in the 57th minute to make the Super Falcons the winning team.
The Falcons will now meet Morocco in the semi-final stage on July 18.
Morocco became the first African country to qualify for the FIFA Women’s World Cup and will be making a debut.
They progressed to the semi-finals of the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations also for the first time in the country’s history after overcoming an exciting Botswana side 2-1 on Wednesday night and will now meet Nigeria.
Both countries flew Africa’s flag at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup finals in Canada and the last edition in France three years ago, but Nigeria remains one of the only six countries in Africa to have participated in all eight editions of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
