Nigeria and Cote d'Ivoire are in Lagos for the third round, second leg tie of the African 2020 Women's Olympic Qualifier on Monday.

The Super Falcons forced Les Femelles Elephantes to a 0-0 draw in the first leg at the Parc des Sports de Treichville on Thursday.

24 hours after the encounter in Abidjan, the two nations' delegations flew into Nigeria's commercial capital city on Friday evening.
