2028 Olympics Qualifier: Nine Super Falcons players arrive in Ikenne camp

Nine players have arrived at the Super Falcons' camp in Ikenne, Nigeria, as preparations intensify for their upcoming 2028 Olympic Games qualifying match against Comoros. Among the first to join the team are Blessing Nkor, a forward from Dynamo Brest, and the Edo Queens trio of Tumininu Adeshina, Christiana Uzoma, and Valentina Uroko.

Additional arrivals include Farida Abdulwahab, Joy Igbokwe, Fatimoh Solaty, Glory Edet, and Sandra John. More players are anticipated to join the squad at the team's base at AM2PM Hotel in Ijebu-Ode on Monday as interim head coach Augustine Eguavoen intensifies preparations for the significant second-round tie. Eguavoen has invited 28 players to participate in the match, with the Super Falcons aiming to advance to the third round of the qualifying campaign.

The first leg of the encounter against Comoros is scheduled for Friday, October 9, at the Remo Stars Sports Stadium in Ikenne-Remo, as Comoros lacks a CAF-approved stadium for international matches. The return fixture is set for Tuesday, October 13, also at the same venue.
