Super Falcons of Nigeria interim head coach, Augustine Eguavoen, has selected 28 players for next month’s Los Angeles 2028 Olympics qualifying fixture against Comoros.
There are also youngsters Christiana Uzoma, Farida Abdulwahab, Tumininu Adeshina, Favour Nkwocha, Shakirat Moshood, Oluwakemi Adegbuyi, and Janet Akekoromowei.
Also listed are defenders Ashley Plumptre and Shukurat Oladipo, midfielder Toni Payne, and forwards Asisat Oshoala, Joy Omewa and Uchenna Kanu.
The players have been instructed to report at the AM2PM Hotel, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State on the 3rd of October.
Comoros will host the first leg of the second-round fixture on 9th October, while Nigeria will host the return leg on 13th October. Both matches will be played at the Remo Stars Sports Stadium, Ikenne-Remo, as Comoros does not have a CAF-approved venue for international games.
Victory on aggregate will send the Falcons to a third-round fixture in the five-fixture stretch qualifying campaign that will end in December next year.
