In the WAFCON 2022 quarterfinal match between Nigeria and Cameroon, more than just a spot in the semifinal is on the line.
The Super Falcons or the Indomitable Lions will advance to the FIFA Women’s World Cup if they win in Casablanca, Morocco, on Thursday.
For the loser, there would be WAFCON tears. A spot in the inter-confederation playoffs in February in New Zealand and Australia will still provide solace and a backdoor to the Mundial.

The Super Falcons are Morocco’s best attacking team with seven goals, despite losing their opening game 2-1 to South Africa.
The nine-time African winners defeated Burundi 4-0 on Sunday after humiliating Botswana 2-0 on matchday two.
Similar to Nigeria, Cameroon placed second in their group.
However, the Indomitable Lionesses have yet to lose in three games, winning one and drawing two.
The Lionesses held top-ranked Zambia to a scoreless draw, drew 1-1 with Togo, and defeated Tunisia 2-0.
