Augustine Eguavoen, a former Super Eagles Head Coach, has been appointed as the interim head coach of the Super Falcons for their upcoming 2028 Olympic Games qualifying matches against Comoros. Eguavoen's selection comes after the dismissal of Justin Madugu, following Nigeria's failure to secure a spot in the 2026 Women's World Cup.

Comoros advanced to the second round following a dominant 30-0 victory over Sudan in the aggregate score. The Super Falcons, who will start with a bye, will advance to subsequent rounds, facing either the Democratic Republic of Congo or Morocco if they successfully progress.
The final round of the qualifying campaign will take place from November 23 to December 4, 2027, with Nigeria potentially facing one of several African teams in the semifinals and final.
