Goalkeper Chiamaka Nnadozie says the Super Falcons are desperate to return to the Olympics after a 16-year absence.
The Super Falcons last appearance at the Olympics was at the 2008 edition hosted by Beijing, China.
Randy Waldrum’s side will battle the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon for a place in the final round.
The first leg is slated for Stade de la Reunification, Douala on Friday (today).
Nnadozie is upbeat the nine-time African champions will qualify for Paris 2024.

“I know it’s been long we qualified for the Olympics but this is a new phase and we have to focus on it,” the Paris FC goalie told a press conference.
“The girls are ready, we know what it takes and we know everyone is expecting us to qualify.
“We are in good spirit and the coach is very confident in us and we hope to qualify this time.”
Nnadozie also acknowledged the strength of the Cameroonian side.
“Cameroon is a very good side with exceptional players whom we respect, but tomorrow (today), we have to come out strong. We are confident. I believe in our team, and we are ready to play this game,” she added.
