Super Falcons will face another difficult task against fierce rivals Cameroon for a spot at the 2024 edition in Paris later this year,
This crucial two-legged tie, set for February 23 and 26, stands as the hurdle to securing a coveted spot in Paris 2024.
The Falcons eliminated Ethiopia in the second round to get to this round, where they battle the Lionesses — who beat Uganda 3-2 on aggregate — in the final qualifiers for Paris 2024 as they hope to qualify for the Olympics for the first time since Beijing 2008.
The first leg of the encounter will take place at the Stade de la Reunification in Douala on Friday (today), with the Confederation of African Football appointing Ugandan Shamirah Nabadda as the centre referee for the match.
The team will then return to Abuja for the return leg against the Lionesses at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja.
South Africa’s Banyana Banyana will take on Tanzania the same weekend, with the winner over two legs to clash with the winner of Nigeria/Cameroon for one of the African tickets to Paris in July.
Tunisia clash with Morocco in an all-North African affair while Ghana host Zambia in Kumasi. Winners will face off for the second African ticket to Paris.
