Super Falcons Prepare for Olympic Qualifier Against Comoros

Fourteen players from the Super Falcons have reported to camp in preparation for Nigeria's 2028 Olympic qualifying match against Comoros. The announcement was made via the team's X handle.

The players currently in camp include Farida Abdulwahab, Tumininu Adeshina, Joy Igbokwe, Fatimoh Solaty, Christiana Uzoma, Blessing Nkor, Valentina Uroko, Glory Edet, Sandra John, Shukurat Oladipo, Shakirat Moshood, Glory Ogbonna, Favour Omenazu, and Suliat Abideen. Interim head coach Augustine Eguavoen had initially invited 28 players for this qualifying assignment.

The first leg of the match is scheduled for Friday, October 9, while the return leg will take place on Tuesday, October 13, both at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo. Comoros is using this venue due to the lack of a CAF-approved stadium for international fixtures.

Nigeria received a bye into the second round of the Olympic qualifying competition, while Comoros advanced after defeating Sudan 30-0 on aggregate. Nigeria aims to secure one of Africa's two available spots for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
