CHAN: NFF to meet NPFL clubs on early release of players

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has confirmed they will hold talks with Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clubs, to ensure players are released early ahead of the 2016 African Nations Championship in Rwanda.

This comes as U-23 coach, Samson Siasia, is struggling to put together a squad for the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations in Senegal later this month.

The NFF is planning to meet with the clubs, to avoid a repeat of the same scenario before the CHAN tournament early next year.
