NFF highlights Super Falcons’ route to Los Angeles 2028 as Aduku demands total commitment from Falconets

Published on: 07 September 2026

The Nigeria Football Federation has highlighted the route Nigeria’s senior women’s national team, the Super Falcons, must follow towards the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

The update was published on the NFF’s official website as attention also turned to the Nigeria U20 Women’s National Team, known as the Falconets.

Moses Aduku, head coach of the Falconets, said his players would give everything when they return to action on Monday.

Details of the specific fixture were not included in the information released, but Aduku’s message underlined the importance of the next assignment for his team.

The two announcements concern different stages of Nigeria’s women’s international programme. The Super Falcons are focused on the long-term route to the Los Angeles 2028 tournament, while the Falconets are preparing for an immediate match under Aduku’s leadership.

The NFF’s decision to draw attention to the Super Falcons’ pathway provides an update on the senior side’s plans as Nigeria begins looking towards the next Olympic cycle. The federation did not provide further details about the qualification route in the material available.

For the Falconets, Aduku’s comments were centred on commitment ahead of Monday’s game. His declaration that the team would “throw everything into Monday’s” assignment reflected the approach he expects from the players as they prepare to represent Nigeria.

The Super Falcons and Falconets remain important parts of Nigeria’s women’s football structure, with the senior national team working towards major international targets and the under-20 side continuing to develop players for the future.

The NFF’s latest communication therefore placed the spotlight on both the immediate and longer-term priorities of the national teams. The Super Falcons’ journey towards Los Angeles 2028 is now a stated focus for the federation, while Aduku has called on the Falconets to commit fully to their next challenge.

No additional information about the Super Falcons’ qualifying schedule, or the Falconets’ Monday opponents, venue or competition, was provided in the announcement.
