Ahead of their crucial 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifier, the Benin Football Federation has confirmed that the Cheetahs will host Nigeria’s Super Falcons in Lomé, Togo, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The decision comes after Benin failed to secure approval for any of their home stadiums from the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

As a result, the federation opted to play its “home” fixture at the Stade de Kégué in Lomé.

The first leg of the second-round qualifier will be held in Togo later this month, while the return leg will take place four days later in Nigeria.

The aggregate winner over the two legs will advance to the 2026 WAFCON finals, which will be staged in Morocco.

The Super Falcons are the defending champions and will be aiming to continue their dominance on the continent, while Benin will be hoping to cause a major upset against the African giants.
