Augustine Eguavoen, serving as interim head coach of the Super Falcons, has named a 28-player squad for Nigeria's two matches in the 2028 Olympic Games qualifying campaign against Comoros. Captain Rasheedat Ajibade heads the group, joined by established internationals such as goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, Asisat Oshoala, Oluwatosin Demehin and Michelle Alozie. Defender Ashleigh Plumptre is back with the national side after an injury kept her out of the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations.
