NFF Appoints Augustine Eguavoen as Interim Coach
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has appointed Augustine Eguavoen as the interim head coach of the Super Falcons in preparation for their upcoming 2028 Olympic Games qualifying campaign. Eguavoen, a former coach of the Super Eagles, will temporarily lead the nine-time African champions while the NFF searches for a permanent coach.
His first major assignment will be the second-round Olympic qualifying tie against Comoros, scheduled for October 9 and October 13, 2026, at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo. Eguavoen will be supported by Christopher Danjuma, head coach of Nasarawa Amazons, as well as goalkeeper trainer Olatunji Baruwa.
Additionally, former Super Falcons defender Ayisat Yusuf has been appointed as an assistant coach. The Super Falcons are eager to secure a place at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games after missing the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
Eguavoen is expected to establish stability within the team as they prepare for a competitive qualification battle.
