Six players from Nigeria's Falconets squad have been selected to join the Super Falcons for their upcoming Olympic qualifier matches against Comoros. Four of the invited players, Christiana Uzoma, Tumininu Adeshina, Favour Nkwocha, and Janet Akekoromowei, represented Nigeria at the recent 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland.
Farida Abdulwahab and Joy Igokwe, also part of the Falconets team, were unable to join the Poland tournament due to visa issues. The 28-player squad for the Olympic qualifiers was announced by interim head coach Augustine Eguavoen via the team's X account. The roster includes captain Rasheedat Ajibade, forward Asisat Oshoala, and goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie.
Defender Ashleigh Plumptre has also returned to the team after missing the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations due to injury. The players are instructed to report to the AM2PM Hotel, Ijebu-Ode, on Saturday, October 3. The first leg of the matches against Comoros will be held on Friday, October 9, at the Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne-Remo, with the return leg scheduled for Tuesday, October 13.
