Eguavoen Keeps Same Super Falcons Line-Up for Comoros Match

Augustine Eguavoen, the interim head coach of the Super Falcons, has decided to retain the same starting line-up that achieved a 2-0 victory over Comoros in the first leg of their second-round African qualifying tie for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. The return fixture is scheduled for Tuesday at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, Ogun State.

Goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie will continue in goal, supported by defenders Christy Ucheibe, Shukurat Oladipo, Michelle Alozie, and Glory Ogbonna. In midfield, Joy Igbokwe will partner with Toni Payne and Jennifer Echegini, while the attacking trio will consist of Uchenna Kanu, Gift Monday, and captain Rasheedat Ajibade.

This decision reflects Eguavoen's confidence in the players who secured Nigeria's first-leg advantage through goals from Alozie and Kanu. Igbokwe's inclusion is significant as she continues to establish herself at the senior international level after progressing through Nigeria's youth ranks.
