Super Falcons Begin Olympic Qualifiers Against Comoros

The Super Falcons will begin their quest for Olympic qualification on Friday against Comoros in the first leg of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games women's football qualifier at Remo Stars Sports Stadium, Ikenne-Remo, with kick-off scheduled for 6pm. Following a disappointing 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign in Morocco, where they were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Cameroon and subsequently lost to South Africa, Nigeria aims to make a positive start in the Olympic qualifiers.

Interim coach Augustine Eguavoen, who is also the Nigeria Football Federation’s Technical Director, has assembled a squad of experienced internationals and emerging talents. Key players include goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie and captain Rasheedat Ajibade.

The Falcons must navigate four rounds and eight matches to secure one of Africa’s two spots for the Los Angeles Games. Eguavoen's first competitive assignment will focus on addressing the team's recent struggles with finishing and defensive organization.
