AWC Stops Rivers Angels’ League Matches

The forthcoming
Africa Women Championship, (AWC) scheduled to kick off in Namibia on the 11th of next month has put on hold all outstanding Nigerian Women Profession Football League matches involving Rivers Angels Fc of Port Harcourt and other clubs.
This follows a directive from the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, owing to the involvement of 14 players of the Rivers State clubside and others across the country in camping exercise and preparations of the Super Falcons for the championships.
The Super Falcons only last week moved into camp for final preparations for continental competition.
According to the assistant coach of the team, Whyte Ogbondah in an interview with Tidesports at the weekend, the matches are postponed till further notice. He said that the club could not execute any match with the absence of their key players.
“14 of our key players have gone into National camp as to keep fit and enhance their performance for the task ahead,” he said.
However, the coach has said that the team would not relent in their effort to win the double this soccer season, adding that, they are committed to their trainings.
Meanwhile, the team is still leading the 2014 Nigeria Women Premier League (NWPL) table with 39 points from 17 matches played so far, three matches on standby and one league match to be played.
It would be recalled that their away matches expected to play last Wednesday was postponed indefinitely.
