CAF Women's Football Olympic Games 2004

Champion: Nigeria

13 June 2003 - 30 March 2004

A qualifying system was introduced for the first time by football's world governing body FIFA to decide which African team will play at the Women's Olympic football finals.

Nigeria's Super Falcons claimed the spot following a 1-0 win (3-2 aggregate) over South Africa in Abuja on 30 March 2004.

In the two previous Olympic Games FIFA have chosen just eight countries to participate based on past performances at the Women's World Cup.
