Comoros have booked a date with African champions, the Super Falcons of Nigeria, after a 30–0 aggregate victory over Sudan in the first round of the qualifiers for the 2028 Olympic Games.

The Coelacanths won the first leg 17–0 on June 3 before following it up with a 13–0 triumph five days later to complete a dominant aggregate win.

In the first leg, Comoros opened the scoring after eight minutes before producing a relentless attacking display that overwhelmed Sudan throughout the encounter.

Nine different players got on the scoresheet in a performance that highlighted the depth and attacking quality of the Comorian side.

In the second leg on Monday, Comoros scored three goals in the first half and added 10 more after the break to seal a 13–0 victory.

They progressed 30–0 on aggregate and will now face a significantly tougher challenge against Nigeria’s Super Falcons, Africa’s most successful women’s national team, in the next round.

The Super Falcons are expected to go into the tie as strong favourites.

Justine Madugu’s side defeated Senegal 3–0 in a friendly at the Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne, on Monday night, following a 2–1 win in the first friendly last week.

The second-round qualifiers are scheduled to take place between October 5 and 13, 2026.

Two African teams will qualify for the women’s football event of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, United States. (The PUNCH)
