In short

In plain words
The Nigerian women's football team played a two-game series against Comoros to qualify for the 2028 Olympics. They won both games easily and are now moving on to face Morocco in the next stage.
A simple example
After winning the first leg, Nigeria scored five more goals in Ikenne to ensure Comoros could not catch up.
Why it matters
This victory keeps Nigeria on track for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. The injury to star player Rasheedat Ajibade is a major concern for the team's future matches.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse this Olympic qualifying tournament with the Africa Women Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
