Nigeria’s Super Falcons kick off their Olympic journey against Brazil on July 25th in Group C.

In their previous encounter at the 2008 Olympics, Brazil triumphed over Nigeria with a 3-1 victory. This time, Nigeria will be looking for redemption.

Facing tough opponents in Brazil, Spain, and Japan, Nigeria will need to deliver top-notch performances to advance to the knockout stages.

In the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, Nigeria made it to the knockout rounds, overcoming Australia and holding England to a draw until the penalty shootout.

Nigeria remains undefeated in competitive matches since the World Cup, setting the stage for their return to the Olympics.

In the World Cup, they defeated Australia and drew against Canada and the Republic of Ireland, only losing to England on penalties.

Brazil, however, have a strong Olympic history, having won gold in 1996 and silver in 2004 and 2008.

Nigeria, nine-time African champions, last competed in the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament in China in 2008. Their final results then were 0-1 against Korea DPR, 0-1 against Germany, and 1-3 against Brazil, who went on to win the silver medal.

Nigeria’s best Women’s Olympic Football Tournament performance was in Athens 20 years ago when the Super Falcons finished sixth after reaching the quarterfinals.
