The Nigeria Football Federation and the National Sports Commission have confirmed they will announce a new head coach for the Super Falcons today, according to Punch. The appointment is part of efforts to rebuild the women's national team ahead of qualification for the 2028 Olympic Games. The identity of the incoming coach has not yet been disclosed, with both bodies confirming only that the announcement will take place today.

Augustine Eguavoen has been appointed to lead Nigeria's women's national football team, the Super Falcons, in an interim capacity as the country begins its campaign to qualify for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. According to PM News, the experienced coach will take charge of the side during the Olympics qualification race. Eguavoen has previously held coaching roles within Nigerian football, including stints with the men's national team, the Super Eagles.

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.

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'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.

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.
