Barau FC's Iorfa Addresses Technical Bench Presence

Dominic Iorfa, the General Manager of Barau FC, explained his recent presence on the technical bench during matches was due to logistical challenges rather than an attempt to encroach on coaching responsibilities. In an interview, Iorfa stated that he was often locked out of dressing rooms during crucial away fixtures in locations such as Jos, Maiduguri, Aba, and Owerri.

To facilitate better communication with players at half-time, he decided to be one of the seven registered officials on matchdays, ensuring he could access the dressing room. Iorfa addressed rumors of friction with the technical crew, clarifying that he only took charge of training sessions while head coach Eugene Agagbe was attending a CAF A Licence course in Abuja.

He emphasized that there was no rift between them, and his actions were aimed at maintaining the team's fitness and progress. His efforts were reflected in a recent goalless draw against Rivers United.
