CS Sfaxien Midfielder Sokari Expects To Feature In Olympic Games If He Makes 18-Man Roster

CS Sfaxien midfielder Kingsley Sokari expects his Tunisian club to release him to the Nigeria Football Federation if he is selected for the 2016 Olympic Games.

Having missed the Africa U23 Cup of Nations, this website can confirm that the former Enyimba ace is among the 60 players named to the provisional roster by Nigeria U23s coach Samson Siasia.

“I think for sure CS Sfaxien will release me because they don’t stop any of their players from national team duties,” says Kingsley Sokari to allnigeriasoccer.com.

“I have not yet discussed the possibility of the club releasing me but I believe they know about the schedule of the Olympic Games.

“Our league is ending next month, so before then I will be sure about whether I will be released.”

The 20-year-old Kingsley Sokari has caps for the Nigerian U20 national team, the Flying Eagles, and the senior squad.
