Super Falcons Defeat Comoros 2-0 in Olympic Qualifier

Nigeria’s Super Falcons achieved a significant 2-0 victory over Comoros in the first leg of their second-round qualifying tie for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games on October 9, 2026, at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, Ogun State. The match saw defender Michelle Alozie score the first goal in the 48th minute, followed by forward Uchenna Kanu, who added a second goal in the 60th minute with a header from a corner kick.

Despite being the home team, Comoros played both legs in Nigeria due to the lack of a Confederation of African Football-approved stadium. The Super Falcons, who are 10-time African champions, struggled initially but maintained pressure throughout the match.

The victory gives Nigeria a two-goal advantage heading into the return leg, with interim head coach Augustine Eguavoen emphasizing the need for a disciplined performance to secure progression.
