Olympic Eagles Release Seven Players for NPFL Matches

Nigeria’s Olympic Eagles have released seven players from their training camp to participate in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) fixtures scheduled for the weekend. This decision was made following requests from several NPFL clubs to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), with Nasarawa United receiving the highest number of players.

The players released include Utake Emmanuel of Rivers United; Joshua Jofrank, Olughu Onu Chinemerem, and Muhammad Muhammad Umar of Nasarawa United; Owelayafa Alex of Bendel Insurance; Samuel Victor Umoh of Sporting Lagos; and Ikechukwu Junior of Ikorodu City. Nasarawa United benefits significantly from this release, as they currently hold the third position on the NPFL table with 17 points from 10 matches.

They are level on points with Rivers United and Rangers and have the opportunity to move to the top of the standings if they defeat Kano Pillars on November 1. Other NPFL matches scheduled for the same day include Enyimba vs.

Kun Khalifat and Rivers United vs. Enugu Rangers, among others.
