Super Falcons interim head coach Augustine Eguavoen has named a 28-player squad for Nigeria’s 2028 Olympic Games qualifying tie against Comoros.
Captain Rasheedat Ajibade is included alongside goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, forward Asisat Oshoala, defender Oluwatosin Demehin and Michelle Alozie.
Ashleigh Plumptre returns to the squad after missing the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations because of injury. Eguavoen has also included several younger players, among them Christiana Uzoma, Farida Abdulwahab, Tumininu Adeshina, Favour Nkwocha, Shakirat Moshood, Oluwakemi Adegbuyi and Janet Akekoromowei.
The players are expected to assemble at the AM2PM Hotel in Ijebu-Ode on Saturday, October 3, before the two-legged tie.
Both fixtures will be played at the Remo Stars Sports Stadium in Ikenne-Remo after Comoros failed to provide a venue approved by CAF. Nigeria will host the first leg on Friday, October 9, with the return match scheduled for Tuesday, October 13.
