Fifa Sends Oghenekaro Etebo ITC To FPF;NFF Fails To Meet Deadline
Published: March 10, 2016
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands the governing body of football, Fifa, has issued the International Transfer Certificate of Nigeria U23 international Oghenekaro Etebo, which has paved the way for him to begin his career with Clube Desportivo Feirense.
The attacking midfielder had agreed terms with the Portuguese LigaPro side in the January transfer window but could not complete the move or travel to Portugal after Warri Wolves claimed he was contractually bound to the Seasiders.
Etebo and his intermediary now referred the matter to a single judge of the Players’ Status Committee for its consideration and decision, and the Nigeria Football Federation was instructed to issue the player his ITC no later than March 3,2016.
After that deadline expired, the Zurich-based organization had no choice but to send the player’s ITC to the Portuguese Federation.
A source close to Oghenekaro Etebo has informed this website that he may likely jet out to Portugal from Egypt (assuming he makes the Super Eagles traveling party) to begin his new adventure with Clube Desportivo Feirense.
The 20-year-old has penned a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Estádio Marcolino de Castro outfit.
