Eguavoen Confident in Super Falcons Ahead of Comoros Clash

Augustine Eguavoen, the Interim Head Coach of the Super Falcons, addressed concerns regarding player withdrawals ahead of the 2028 Olympics Women’s Football Tournament qualifying matches against Comoros. Notable absences include Asisat Oshoala, Ashley Plumptre, and Oluwatosin Demehin.

Eguavoen expressed confidence in the replacements, stating they possess the quality and experience necessary for success. The matches will take place on October 9 and 13 at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo, as Comoros lacks a suitable football pitch.

Eguavoen confirmed that the team is fully settled in camp, with only Belarus-based forward Blessing Okpe expected to join. Captain Rasheedat Ajibade will lead the squad, aiming for a second consecutive Olympic appearance after participating in Paris 2024.

A successful aggregate result against Comoros will advance the Super Falcons to the third round of the qualifying series, scheduled for March 2027.
