Nigeria's Super Falcons are set to secure a spot in the third round of the African qualification series for the 2028 Olympics Women's Football Tournament. In a crucial match against Comoros senior women national team, the team defeated the African champions 2-0. This victory marks their second consecutive appearance at the Olympics after a 16-year hiatus.
The match, held at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo, was played on a neutral ground due to Morocco's lack of a CAF-approved venue for international matches. Interim Head Coach Augustine Eguavoen made strategic lineup decisions, including the use of debutant Joy Igbokwe and goalkeepers Christy Ucheibe and Shukurat Oladipo. The third-round fixture against Morocco is scheduled for March 2027.
