Super Falcons learn 2028 Olympics path: Sudan/Comoros winner awaits in June qualifiers
Nigeria's Super Falcons have been seeded and received a bye into the second round of Olympic qualifiers for the 2028 Los Angeles Games, with their pathway confirmed following Wednesday's CAF draw in Cairo. They will face either Sudan or Comoros in home-and-away ties scheduled for June 1-9, with the actual matches taking place in the October 5-13 window.
With only two Olympic slots available for all of Africa, every qualifier carries immense weight. The Super Falcons return to Olympic competition after a 16-year absence at Paris 2024, where they exited at the group stage against Japan, Spain, and Brazil. This qualification campaign represents their chance to reclaim a place among the world's elite through direct knockout matches where consistency is essential and reputation means nothing.
Mark your calendars: the Super Falcons' Olympic qualifier journey begins October 5-13 against either Sudan or Comoros. The winner advances through successive rounds culminating in the final qualifier in November-December 2027, with the Los Angeles Olympics women's football event scheduled for July 11-29, 2028. Given Africa's limited two slots, each match is do-or-die - will you support the Super Falcons' quest to go further than their Paris 2024 group-stage exit?
