2028 Olympics Qualifier: Nine Super Falcons players arrive in Ikenne camp

Nine players have reported to the Super Falcons’ camp in Ikenne as preparations gather pace for their 2028 Olympic Games qualifying encounter against Comoros.

Dynamo Brest forward, Blessing Nkor and Edo Queens trio Tumininu Adeshina, Christiana Uzoma and Valentina Uroko are among the first players to arrive at the team’s camp.

Farida Abdulwahab, Joy Igbokwe, Fatimoh Solaty, Glory Edet and Sandra John have also joined the squad.

More players are expected to arrive at the team’s base at AM2PM Hotel in Ijebu-Ode on Monday (today) as interim head coach Augustine Eguavoen steps up preparations for the crucial second-round tie.

Eguavoen has invited 28 players for the encounter, with the Super Falcons aiming to secure a place in the third round of the qualifying campaign.

Comoros is billed to host the first leg on Friday, October 9, before Nigeria takes its turn as the designated home side in the return fixture on Tuesday, October 13.

However, both legs will be played at the Remo Stars Sports Stadium in Ikenne-Remo because Comoros does not have a CAF-approved stadium for international matches.
