Nigeria’s Super Falcons will begin preparations for their 2028 Olympic Games qualifying campaign next month after interim head coach Augustine Eguavoen selected a 28-player squad for the two-legged clash against Comoros.
The Nigerian women’s national team are scheduled to open camp in Ikenne on Sunday, October 4, ahead of the second-round qualifying tie.
Both matches will take place at the Remo Stars Sports Complex in Ikenne, with the first encounter scheduled for Friday, October 9, before the return leg on Tuesday, October 13.
Nigeria must secure victory on aggregate across the two matches to progress to the next stage of the Olympic qualifying series.
