Super Falcons Reach Third Round of 2028 Olympic Qualifiers, Draw Morocco

Nigeria's Super Falcons have progressed to the third round of qualifying for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games after securing a 7-0 aggregate victory over Comoros. The aggregate win was sealed with a 5-0 result in Tuesday's second leg at Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, Ogun State, following a 2-0 win in the first leg. Uchenna Kanu and Toni Payne each scored twice, while Christy Ucheibe converted a penalty to complete the five-goal margin. In the third round, Nigeria will meet Morocco over two legs scheduled for early 2027. Morocco advanced after Congo-Brazzaville withdrew from the competition, giving Morocco a walkover. The last major meeting between Nigeria and Morocco took place in the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations final, when Nigeria came back from a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 and claim a record 10th continental title. The Super Falcons are seeking to secure a place at the Olympic Games as they pursue further success on the international stage.
