Super Falcons to Face Comoros in 2028 Olympic Qualifiers After Coelacanths’ Historic 30-0 Demolition of Sudan

Comoros have earned a second-round meeting with Nigeria’s Super Falcons in the qualifiers for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, following a record-breaking aggregate victory over Sudan that has drawn widespread attention across African women’s football.

The Coelacanths dismantled Sudan across both legs, winning 17-0 in the first fixture before adding a 13-0 result in the return match — completing a 30-0 aggregate that stands as one of the most dominant results in recent African women’s football history.

Standing between Comoros and the next stage of qualification are the Super Falcons, widely regarded as the continent’s premier women’s football side. Nigeria have claimed the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title on ten occasions, a record that underlines their sustained dominance of African women’s football.

Head coach Justine Madugu’s squad arrives at the fixture in solid form. During the most recent international window, the Super Falcons defeated Senegal 2-1 in the first of two friendly matches, then followed up with a more authoritative 3-0 victory in the second encounter, held at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne.

Forward Omewa was among the standout performers in those fixtures, netting a brace in the win over Senegal. The results have reinforced confidence within the Nigerian camp as the team balances Olympic qualification preparations with its build-up to the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, where Nigeria will be defending the continental title.

The second-round qualifier between the Super Falcons and Comoros is scheduled to be played between October 5 and October 13, 2026. The tie’s winner will advance further along the path toward a place at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, where the African continent will be allocated two berths in the women’s football competition.

While Nigeria enter as clear favourites based on their continental record and current form, Comoros’ ruthless progression through the first round signals a team in confident condition. The scale of their victory over Sudan — 30 goals scored across two legs with none conceded — will nonetheless do little to alter expectations ahead of the October fixtures.
