Nigeria's Super Falcons will begin their qualifying campaign for the 2028 Olympic women's football tournament in Los Angeles against Comoros in the second round, with matches scheduled for 9 and 13 October. The 10-time African champions are aiming to reach successive Olympic Games after appearing at Paris 2024. According to the report, the fixtures give Nigeria a clear path toward qualification for the tournament.

Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has not yet signed a contract extension with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), according to BBC journalist Oluwashina Okeleji. The NFF is facing increased competition from other African nations seeking to secure the services of the Franco-Malian coach. Shehu Dikko, the chairman of the National Sports Commission, is involved in the efforts to retain Chelle.

Nigeria has extended the contract of Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle, granting him additional responsibilities to oversee the country's Under-23 team, known as the Olympic Eagles. This decision was made during a meeting between the National Sports Commission (NSC) and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in Abuja.

The Nigeria Football Federation's Executive Committee has dismissed members of the Super Falcons' technical crew, according to Tribune Sports. The decision affects the coaching and support staff of Nigeria's senior women's national football team, one of Africa's most successful sides. Details regarding the reasons for the sack and potential replacements were not included in the available report. The announcement was reported as part of the federation's executive decisions concerning the women's national team setup.

Eric Chelle's contract extension with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has not yet been signed, raising concerns that Nigeria could lose its Super Eagles coach. This uncertainty is compounded by reported interest from Algeria in Chelle's services, which could lead to his departure after the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Niger Tornadoes have strengthened their technical crew by appointing new assistant coaches to support the recently appointed technical adviser Kabiru Dogo. Umar Tyabo will serve as the chief coach, alongside Ibraheem Mutiullahi Okikiola and Umar Hussaini, who will also assist Dogo, according to DAILY POST.
