Hope is rising in the camp of Super Falcons few days to the crucial 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games African qualifiers double-header between Nigeria and Comoros billed for Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo on October 9 and 13, 2026 following the impressive performances of the invited players who featured for their overseas’ clubs this weekend before returning home from Monday, October 5 for the national duty.

Prompt News reports that some Super Falcons invitees like captain Rasheedat Ajibade and teammate Jennifer Echegini were both on target as Paris Saint-Germain Feminina ran away with a 3-1 victory over Fleury in the Première Ligue on Sunday, October 4 in France.

Both Echegini and Ajibade scored in each half of the tough match with the two Nigerians scoring in the 36th and 58th minutes respectively.

Also, Sweden-based forward Joy Omewa marked her first home start for BK Häcken in style by grabbing a brace as his club side cruised to a 9-0 victory over IK Uppsala at the Nordic Wellness Arena on Matchday 21 of the Damallsvenskan.

 The Nigerian forward, who joined BK Häcken during the summer, opened the scoring in the 10th minute after being set up by Thelma Pálmadóttir.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie helped her struggling English club Brighton and Hove Albion to come back from conceding an early minute goal to wallop fellow

England’s Women’s Super League (WSL) side Charlton women’s 5-1 on Sunday.

This victory was Nnadozie’s club first win in their recent five matches losing two matches and drawn two.

With the weekend matches over, it is expected that some of the foreign-based players will start arriving Super Falcons’ camp in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state.
