## Eguavoen leads Falcons
Former Super Eagles coach Augustine Eguavoen will lead Nigeria's Super Falcons into Los Angeles 2028 Olympic qualifying battle with Comoros.
## Eguavoen's team
The Nigeria Football Federation appointed Eguavoen on an interim basis in September as the search for a substantive head coach continued.
## Eguavoen's assistants
Christopher Danjuma, Ayisat Yusuf and former Nigeria goalkeeper trainer Olatunji Baruwa will support Eguavoen.
## Team background
Nigeria, ranked 36th in the FIFA Women's World Ranking, received a second-round bye as one of Africa's three highest-ranked teams.
## Comoros' record
Comoros arrive with a striking qualification record after crushing Sudan 30-0 on aggregate, including a 17-0 first-leg victory and a 13-0 return-leg win.
## Match schedule
Both Olympic qualifiers will be played at Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne-Remo, on October 9 and 13 because Comoros do not have a CAF-approved venue.
## Key takeaway

Nigeria's former Super Eagles coach Augustine Eguavoen will lead the Super Falcons in their Los Angeles 2028 Olympic qualifying match against Comoros.
