Nine Comorian players found the net as Sudan suffered heavy defeats across two legs; Nigeria await in next round
Comoros hammered Sudan 30–0 on aggregate over two legs to book a high-stakes clash with the Super Falcons in the second round of the 2028 Olympic Games qualifiers. The Coelacanths demolished Sudan 17–0 in the first leg on June 3 and followed up with a 13–0 win five days later, confirming their place against Africa’s most successful women’s team.
In the first leg, played on June 3, Comoros opened scoring after just eight minutes and never looked back, showcasing a relentless attacking display that left Sudan overwhelmed from start to finish. Nine different Comorian players got on the scoresheet, underlining their depth and firepower in front of goal.
The second leg on Monday saw Comoros net three goals before half-time and add ten more after the break, sealing a stunning 13–0 victory to complete one of the most dominant aggregate results in recent African qualifiers. Specific scorers and minutes for these goals were not provided in available reports.
For Nigerian fans, all attention now shifts to what promises to be a much tougher test for Comoros: facing the Super Falcons — current African champions and record holders for most women’s AFCON titles. The Falcons come into this fixture on form, having just beaten Senegal 3–0 at Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne following a 2–1 win last week in another friendly. Both sides know only two African nations will ultimately qualify for women’s football at Los Angeles 2028.
Neither the Super Falcons coaching staff nor the Nigerian Football Federation had issued any statements about the upcoming tie at press time. No official reaction has come from the Comorian camp either.
The eagerly awaited second-round qualifiers are scheduled for October 5 to 13, 2026, with venue details yet to be confirmed. The stakes are high: a place at Los Angeles 2028 is now within reach for both sides.

For Nigerian football fans, Mourinho’s appointment is big news — many Super Eagles players and African stars have featured in LaLiga under his watch. The move also raises questions about how Real Madrid will challenge for both domestic and European honours next season.
Neither Jose Mourinho nor Real Madrid club officials had issued public statements at press time. Fans across social media have been reacting with excitement and curiosity about what tactical changes the ‘Special One’ might introduce on his return.
Real Madrid’s next official fixture, including Mourinho’s first match back in charge, was not confirmed in available reports. Supporters will be watching closely for further updates from the club as pre-season approaches.
