The Super Falcons will take on Canada in a test match on July 17 before travelling to France.
The nine-time African champions are placed alongside Brazil, reigning world champions Spain and former champions Japan in Group A of the competition.
The Super Falcons will take on perennial underachievers Brazil in their first match on July 25 at the Matmut Atlantique stadium in Bordeaux before taking on Spain three days later in Nantes.
The final group game will be against Japan four days later at the Matmut Atlantique stadium.
After 16 years of absence at the Olympics, the Super Falcons will hope to navigate the difficult group as they look to consolidate on their impressive performance at the Women’s World Cup last year.
