Eguavoen Confident in Super Falcons Ahead of Comoros Clash

Augustine Eguavoen, the interim head coach of the Super Falcons, is optimistic about Nigeria's chances against Comoros in their 2028 Olympic qualifying matches, scheduled for October 9 and October 13 at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo. This optimism comes despite the late withdrawals of key players Asisat Oshoala, Ashley Plumptre, and Oluwatosin Demehin.

Eguavoen stated that their replacements possess the necessary quality and experience to contribute effectively to the team's success. He confirmed that the squad has settled well in camp, with only Belarus-based forward Blessing Okpe yet to join the team in Ijebu-Ode.

The Super Falcons aim to win on aggregate to progress to the third round of the five-round African Olympic qualifying series, which is set for March 2027. Captain Rasheedat Ajibade will lead the team as they seek a second consecutive appearance at the Olympic football tournament after participating in Paris 2024.
