The Super Falcons of Nigeria are gearing up for a tough challenge at the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic Games, as they face a formidable lineup of opponents in the group stage.
On July 25th, the Super Falcons will kick off their Olympic campaign against Brazil at the Stade Matmut-Atlantique in Bordeaux, France. The match is scheduled to start at 6 PM local time.

Completing their group stage fixtures, the Super Falcons will face Japan on July 31st at the Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes, starting at 4 PM local time.
The Super Falcons earned their spot in Group C at the Paris 2024 Olympics after a narrow 1-0 aggregate victory over South Africa in their recent qualifier.
Coach Randy Waldrum has announced a strong squad for the tournament, featuring the likes of captain Rasheedat Ajibade, Asisat Oshoala, and goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie. The team is determined to make a mark at the Olympics and will be looking to build on their successful qualification campaign.
The Super Falcons’ fixtures at the Paris 2024 Olympics are reminiscent of Nigeria’s first matches at the Olympic Games football event 56 years ago. In 1968, the Nigerian team faced Japan, Brazil, and Spain in the group stage, with the order of the fixtures reversed this time around.
As the Super Falcons prepare for their fourth appearance at the Olympics, they will be looking to improve on their best tournament showing to date, a quarterfinal finish at the Athens Games in 2004. With a talented squad and a strong spirit, the Super Falcons are ready to take on the challenge and make their mark at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
