NGA Vs COM: Match Preview, Kick Off Time And Head To Head Record

According to a report by ESPN on Monday, October 12, 2026, Nigeria’s Super Falcons will face Comoros in the second leg of their 2028 Olympic Games women’s football qualifying encounter on Tuesday, October 13, as both countries battle for a place in the third round of the competition.

The Nigerian women’s national team will approach the encounter with confidence after securing a comfortable 2-0 victory over Comoros in the first leg on Friday, October 9.

Michelle Alozie opened the scoring in the 48th minute before Uchenna Kanu doubled Nigeria’s advantage in the 60th minute, putting the Super Falcons in a commanding position ahead of the return fixture.

Nigeria will be hoping to complete the assignment against Comoros and move another step closer to qualifying for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

The Super Falcons, currently under the interim management of Augustine Eguavoen, possess several experienced players capable of making the difference.

Players such as Rasheedat Ajibade, Asisat Oshoala, Chiamaka Nnadozie, Michelle Alozie and Jennifer Echegini provide Nigeria with considerable quality across different positions.

Having already established a two-goal advantage, Nigeria will be expected to control proceedings while preventing their opponents from finding an early breakthrough.

Comoros, meanwhile, face a difficult challenge after failing to score in the opening encounter.

Despite their first-leg defeat, the visitors will be determined to produce a stronger performance and keep their qualification hopes alive.

The winner of the two-legged contest will progress to the third round, where Morocco await following Congo’s withdrawal from their qualifying fixture.

The highly anticipated encounter between Nigeria and Comoros is scheduled for Tuesday, October 13, 2026.

The match will kick off at exactly 4:00 PM Nigerian time at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, Ogun State.

Interestingly, both legs of the qualifying encounter are being staged in Nigeria because Comoros could not provide a stadium approved by the Confederation of African Football.

Although Comoros were officially the home team during the opening fixture, Nigeria will be the designated hosts for Tuesday’s return leg.

Nigeria and Comoros have a limited history of meetings in senior women’s international football.

Their first-leg encounter on October 9, 2026, ended in a 2-0 victory for the Super Falcons.

Consequently, Nigeria enter Tuesday’s encounter with one victory from their recent head-to-head meetings, having scored twice without conceding.

The Super Falcons will be aiming to extend their winning record against Comoros and secure qualification for the next stage.

With a two-goal advantage and the opportunity to play on familiar ground, Nigeria are strong favourites to progress. However, the team must remain focused throughout the encounter to avoid an unexpected comeback.

A successful result would set up another important qualifying battle against Morocco as Nigeria continue their pursuit of a place at the 2028 Olympic Games.
