Super Falcons Prepare for Olympic Qualifier Against Comoros
Nigeria’s Super Falcons began training on Monday evening with 14 players in preparation for their 2028 Olympics Women’s Football Tournament qualifying match against Comoros, scheduled for Friday at Remo Stars Stadium. A return match will occur on Tuesday evening.
The Super Falcons, 10-time African champions, aim to qualify for the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament after their return two years ago following a 16-year absence. Interim Head Coach Augustine Eguavoen has released Oluwakemi Adegbuyi and Favour Nkwocha back to the U17 women’s team, Flamingos, who will depart for the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup finals in Morocco.
Asisat Oshoala has also requested to be excused, prompting Eguavoen to call up Belarus-based forward Blessing Okpe. The squad includes notable players such as captain Rasheedat Ajibade, Michelle Alozie, and Christy Ucheibe, among others.
