Nigeria's Super Falcons will face South Africa's Banyana Banyana in a high-stakes African playoff tie on Thursday, August 13, 2026, as the two nations battle for a place at the FIFA Women's World Cup 2027.
The fixture, set for 9:00 PM Nigerian time at Stade Moulay Rachid in Casablanca, Morocco, is part of CAF's effort to secure two additional World Cup spots for Africa outside of the main Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualification route.

Both sides were knocked out at the quarter-final stage of the 2026 WAFCON, which is still ongoing in Morocco. Cameroon eliminated Nigeria, while host nation Morocco ended South Africa's run in the tournament. Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire are the other beaten quarter-finalists also involved in this playoff round.
The winners of these playoff matches will advance to an intercontinental playoff involving teams from Asia, Oceania, South America and Europe, where they will compete for the remaining World Cup berths.
As noted by NFF, for Nigeria, the stakes carry particular weight. The Super Falcons have qualified for every edition of the FIFA Women's World Cup since the tournament's inception, and a defeat here would end that historic record.
Where to Watch South Africa vs Nigeria
CAF is treating the playoff fixture in line with the standard WAFCON broadcast schedule. Nigerian fans can follow the action on SuperSport channels available on DStv and GOtv, as well as their respective streaming platforms.
The match will also air on the free-to-air channel Afro Sports, giving wider access to supporters who do not subscribe to pay-TV services.
