Eguavoen Confident in Super Falcons Against Comoros

Augustine Eguavoen, the interim head coach of the Super Falcons, has addressed concerns regarding the absence of key players, including Asisat Oshoala, Ashley Plumptre, and Oluwatosin Demehin, ahead of the two-leg second-round tie against Comoros in the 2028 Olympic women's football qualifying series. The matches are scheduled for October 9 and 13 at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo, Nigeria, as Comoros could not secure a suitable stadium for the fixtures.

Eguavoen expressed confidence in the replacements for the absent players, stating they possess the quality and experience necessary for success. The squad is focused on achieving a positive result in both matches, with captain Rasheedat Ajibade expected to lead the team.

The Falcons aim to secure their place in the Olympic tournament after competing in Paris 2024, with the aggregate winner advancing to the third round of the qualifying series in March 2027.
