Eguavoen invites Ajibade, Nnadozie, 26 others as Super Falcons begin Olympic qualification race against Comoros

The Super Falcons, Nigeria's women's national football team, have named a 28-player squad for the upcoming Olympic qualifier against Comoros. Six players from the recent 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland have earned their call-ups. These players include goalkeeper Christiana Uzoma, defender Tumininu Adeshina, midfielder Favour Nkwocha, and forward Janet Akekoromowei.

The other two invited players are Farida Abdulwahab and Joy Igokwe, who were unable to participate in the 2026 tournament due to visa issues. The squad also includes captain Rasheedat Ajibade, forward Asisat Oshoala, and goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie. Defender Ashleigh Plumptre returns to the team after missing the recent Women’s Africa Cup of Nations due to injury.

The players are expected to report to the AM2PM Hotel, Ijebu-Ode, on Saturday, October 3. The first leg of the qualifier is scheduled for Friday, October 9, and the return leg for Tuesday, October 13, both at the Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne-Remo. The team will begin their quest for qualification to the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
