Eguavoen names Super Falcons squad for Comoros Olympic qualifiers

Super Falcons interim coach Augustine Eguavoen has released his squad for Nigeria’s 2028 Olympic qualifying encounters against Comoros.

The list was confirmed on Tuesday through the team’s official X account, with captain Rasheedat Ajibade, Asisat Oshoala and goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie among the notable names.

Young forward Janet Akekoromowei also makes the squad after attracting attention with her recent displays and transfer to Benfica.

Defender Ashleigh Plumptre returns after missing the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations through injury.

The players are expected to arrive at the AM2PM Hotel in Ijebu-Ode on Saturday, October 3.

Both legs will take place at Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo because Comoros does not have a CAF-approved venue for international fixtures.

Nigeria will host the first leg on Friday, October 9, with the return match set for Tuesday, October 13.

The 10-time African champions will begin their campaign for a place at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics against Comoros.
