Comoros Women 13-0 Sudan Women: A Record-Breaking Performance in Olympic Qualifying

The Comoros Women’s national team delivered one of the most emphatic results in recent African women’s football history on June 9, 2026, thrashing Sudan Women 13-0 in a CAF Women’s Olympic qualification fixture. The match, played under the lights at 02:00 local time, saw Comoros dismantle their opponents with a relentless attacking display, leaving no doubt about their ambitions for a place at the Olympic Games.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, Comoros imposed their will on the contest. The home side pressed high, forced turnovers, and exploited gaps in the Sudanese defence with clinical precision. By halftime, the scoreline had already reached a commanding margin, and they continued to add to their tally in the second half. Sudan struggled to mount any meaningful response, managing only a handful of half-chances that were comfortably dealt with by the Comoros goalkeeper.

Key Moments & Goals

• Early Blitz: Comoros scored within the first ten minutes, setting the tone for the evening. A quick combination down the right flank ended with a low cross turned in at the near post.
• Hat-Trick Hero: The Comoros striker, whose name will surely be remembered by fans, netted a perfect hat-trick (left foot, right foot, header) before the hour mark.
• Set-Piece Dominance: Four of Comoros’ thirteen goals came from corner kicks, highlighting their aerial superiority and set-piece organisation.
• Sudan’s Best Chance: In the 68th minute, Sudan’s winger broke free on the counter-attack but saw her shot saved by a diving stop from the Comoros custodian, preserving the clean sheet.

Tactical Analysis

Comoros operated in a fluid 4-3-3 formation, with full-backs pushing high to create overloads. Their midfield trio rotated possession quickly, pulling the Sudan shape apart. Sudan’s 4-4-2 defensive block was repeatedly caught in transition, unable to cope with the speed of Comoros’ wingers and the movement of their centre-forward. The defensive structure of Comoros also deserves credit; they conceded zero shots on target over the 90 minutes.

Standout Performers

• Comoros #9: Scored four goals and provided two assists, a complete performance from the centre-forward role.
• Comoros #7: The left winger tormented the Sudan right-back, contributing a hat-trick of assists and one goal.
• Comoros Midfielder #6: Dictated the tempo from deep, completing over 90% of her passes and winning every aerial duel.

Impact on Qualification

This staggering victory gives Comoros a massive boost in goal difference as they progress through the Olympic qualification rounds. With such a dominant win, they send a strong message to other contenders in the CAF region. Sudan, meanwhile, will need to regroup quickly if they are to keep their own hopes alive in the return leg. The result could go down as one of the biggest wins in Comoros women’s football history.
