The quartet will be joined by their foreign-based counterpart in Addis Ababa.

The first leg of the second-round contest will be held in Addis Ababa on Wednesday, October 25.

The reverse fixture is slated for the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja, on Tuesday, October 31.

The Super Falcons have failed to qualify for the last three editions of the Olympics but are tipped to make it to the Football tournament of Paris 2024 following their impressive outing at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

The Falcons were drawn-bye for the second round of qualifiers after Sao Tome and Principe pulled out of the fixtures with the Nigerian side over challenges with logistics.
