    AFRICA WOMEN’s CHAMPIONSHIP: Russia club stops Ordega, Oparanozie

    Two successive defeats for FC Rossiyanka in the Russia Women’s league may stop Nigeria internationals, Desire Oparanozie and Francisca Ordega from participating in the Africa Women Championship coming up this month in Equatorial Guinea.

    The club is insisting on holding on to both players who are yet to make their debut for their next league matches. Despite its stand, the club still tops the league with 15 points from six matches. Only this week, the club’s President was fired for the losses.

    The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on its part are infuriated by the development and have told Rossiyanka to honour its earlier agreement which was to release the players on or before October 17 for the biennial tournament.

    “It was on that basis that we cleared the players to enable them travel to Russia last month. But just look at what the club is doing. That was not the agreement we had with them,” responded a federation official.

    “Whether they are not doing well in the domestic league, is no business of ours,” he continued.

    As at yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) meetings were going on between the players representatives and the club to effect their release via telephone.

    SportingLife gathered that Rossiyanka is insisting on an invitation letter from NFF.

    “Without that letter they are likely not to allow them go. The issue is such a serious one. As at yesterday afternoon(Wednesday) meetings were going on at the club house in Russia owing to the turn of events,” an insider revealed.

    NFF may not bulge at the idea since it cleared the players without consulting with the club. “At the time they traveled, both players were in the Super Falcons camp in Abuja and we agreed to let them go. So the club should do the same,” added the insider.

    Erstwhile president of the club, Lion Opaleye challenged the new president to take the club above where he left it, adding that he was able to take Ilupeju Lions Club to the Top 10 in District 404 Nigeria during his tenure.
