Comoros’ lack of a Confederation of African Football (CAF)-approved venue for international matches has resulted in both legs being played in Nigeria, with the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo serving as the venue for the two encounters.
The Super Falcons are aiming to secure a second consecutive appearance at the Olympic Games following their return to the women’s football tournament at Paris 2024, which marked their first Olympic appearance in 16 years.
