Super Falcons to Face Comoros in Olympic Qualifiers
The Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo will be the venue for both legs of Nigeria’s second-round Olympic qualifying tie against Comoros, scheduled for October 9 and 13. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) confirmed this arrangement, granting the Super Falcons home advantage as they pursue qualification for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
Nigeria received a bye into this round due to being one of the three highest-ranked teams, while Comoros advanced by defeating Sudan 30-0 on aggregate. To qualify for the Olympics, the Super Falcons must navigate four rounds of two-legged knockout ties.
If they defeat Comoros, they will face either the Democratic Republic of Congo or Morocco in the third round, set for February 23 to March 6, 2027. The NFF is also considering appointing a new coach for the team before the qualifiers, with former coach Thomas Dennerby being a candidate.
The NFF had previously asked Justine Madugu and his crew to step aside after a disappointing performance at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
