The stage is set for an epic showdown as the Super Falcons prepare to host Banyana Banyana in the first leg of the crucial Olympics qualifiers.

Scheduled for Friday, April 5th, the match will take place at the MKO Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.

Both teams will travel to Pretoria for the return leg at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Tuesday, April 9th.

With the fate of their Olympic dreams hanging in the balance, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

The winner of the two-legged clash will secure one of two tickets available to Africa in this year’s Women’s Olympic Football Tournament.

Meanwhile, Zambia and Morocco are set to clash for the remaining ticket on the same dates.

Nigeria has not been to the Olympics in sixteen years, four editions of the multi-sports event.
