Summary: Comoros women’s football team destroys Sudan 30-0 on aggregate to earn a dream match against Nigeria’s Super Falcons in the 2028 Olympic Games qualifiers.
The stage is set for what promises to be a memorable encounter as Comoros’ women’s national football team, nicknamed the Coelacanths, have booked their place against Nigeria’s legendary Super Falcons following an absolutely stunning 30-0 aggregate victory over Sudan in the first round of the 2028 Olympic Games qualifying campaign.
A Historic Demolition
The Coelacanths’ performance against Sudan has sent shockwaves across African women’s football. The 30-goal margin represents one of the most comprehensive victories in recent African football qualifying history, demonstrating the rapidly evolving landscape of women’s football on the continent.
While the scoreline raises questions about the competitive balance in women’s football across different African nations, it also highlights the growing investment and development in some countries’ women’s football programs.
Next Stop: The Super Falcons
For Comoros, the reward for their dominant first-round performance is a date with African royalty. Nigeria’s Super Falcons are the continent’s most decorated women’s football team, having won the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations a record nine times and consistently representing Africa at the FIFA Women’s World Cup and Olympic Games.

What This Means for Nigerian Fans
For Super Falcons supporters, this match represents another step on the road to the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Randy Waldrum’s ladies will be expected to navigate this tie comfortably, but they cannot afford complacency against a Comoros side riding high on confidence.
The encounter will also provide an opportunity for the technical crew to assess squad depth and give playing time to fringe players looking to cement their places in the team.
As preparations intensify, Nigerian fans will be hoping the Super Falcons continue their dominant form in African women’s football and secure qualification for yet another major tournament.
The tie between Nigeria and Comoros promises to be an intriguing chapter in the journey toward the 2028 Olympics. Will the Super Falcons cruise through, or can the Coelacanths produce another shock?
