NFF Set to Announce New Super Falcons Head Coach on Tuesday Ahead of 2028 Olympics

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the National Sports Commission (NSC) are reportedly set to announce a new head coach for the Super Falcons on Tuesday in Abuja.

According to a report by local media BSN Sports, a senior NSC official revealed that the announcement is expected to be made as part of efforts to begin preparations for the 2028 Olympic Games as early as possible.

“In order to start the preparation for the 2028 Olympic Games early, the NFF will announce the new Super Falcons coach on Tuesday,” the official said.

The appointment comes after a disappointing campaign for Nigeria at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, where the Super Falcons were eliminated in the quarter-finals and missed out on qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Following the team’s underwhelming performance, Justin Madugu was relieved of his position as head coach, leaving the NFF and NSC with the task of finding a suitable replacement.
