Nigeria's women's national football team, the Super Falcons, will miss the Women's World Cup for the first time in over 30 years. The outcome was sealed on Thursday after South Africa proved too strong in a crucial play-off match.
The defeat compounds recent struggles for the Nigerian side, following a disappointing WAFCON quarter-final exit against Cameroon. Meanwhile, South Africa and Ghana successfully progressed to an inter-confederation qualifier for the 2027 Women's World Cup.
