During the first leg, Comoros took the lead in the eighth minute and never looked back, dominating proceedings from start to finish with a relentless attacking display.
Their impressive performance saw nine different players find the back of the net, underlining the team’s offensive strength and squad depth.
The second leg on Monday followed a similar pattern, with Comoros establishing a three-goal advantage before halftime and adding 10 more goals after the interval to seal another comprehensive victory.
The result ensured a staggering 30-0 aggregate triumph, earning the island nation a place in the next phase of the qualification campaign, where they will face a far sterner test against the Super Falcons of Nigeria.
Nigeria, widely regarded as Africa’s most successful women’s national team, will enter the tie as overwhelming favourites to progress.
The Super Falcons, coached by Justine Madugu, head into the qualifiers in good form after defeating Senegal 3-0 in an international friendly at the Remo Stars Stadium on Monday. The victory came on the heels of a 2-1 success over the same opponents in an earlier friendly match.
The second round of the Olympic qualifying series is scheduled to be played between October 5 and October 13, 2026.
At the conclusion of the qualification process, two African nations will earn tickets to represent the continent in the women’s football tournament at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
