Coach of Nigeria’s senior national women team Kadiri Ikhana may have so much to worry about as six players of the Super Falcons who ply their trade in Sweden may not be released for the Nations Cup due to club engagement.

The African Women Championship will kick off on October 28, and run till November 11, a period the Swedish women’s league will be concluding the current season.

Some clubs are fighting to escape relegation, while others are gunning for the title, hence the players will be fully engaged with club duties.

It has been gathered from a close source in Sweden that the likes of Faith Ikidi, Uloma Jerome, Helen Ukaonu, Ogonna Chukwudi, Rita Chikwelu, Perpetua Nkwocha and Sarah Michael who play in Sweden may not be released for the African Championship.

CAF fixed the AWC date outside FIFA calendar and clubs who pay the players may not want to release them for national duty. The source informed.

Round 22 of the Swedish league that is adjudged as the best women league in the world will be played on the 3rd day of November, 2012 when the AWC would already have kicked off.

Coach Ikhana and the Nigeria Football Federation may start contacting the clubs in Sweden if these players will be featured at the AWC.
