As football clubs in Nigeria continue to wait for the official resumption of the 2020/2021 football season, the management of Akwa United football Club has invited all her players for contract renegotiation with the club in Uyo.
It was gathered that the players who have been on break since March 2020 following the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic have been directed to report to the club’s camp in Uyo on or before Monday next week for the exercise.
“The Players have been asked to come for profiling and the signing of relevant contract papers and attestation for proper registration ahead of the new football league season, following the need to renew some of the contracts that had elapsed when the league was officially cancelled by the organisers early this month.
“New players who have been contacted by the club are to report with their agents/intermediaries to discuss personal terms and undergo medical examination ahead of penning their acceptance documents.
“While in Uyo, the players will be made to undergo sessions on the club’s Code of Conduct and the ever-changing laws of the game.” Club chairman, Paul Bassey said in a statement.
The two-time federation Cup Champions ended the 2019/2020 Nigeria Professional Football League season in 6th place after twenty-five rounds of matches before the indefinite suspension/cancellation of the league by the league organisers due to coronavirus pandemic.
The Promise Keepers recently decontaminated their camp/office space in line with the precautionary measures as directed by the National Centre for Disease Control NCDC, in preparation for the commencement of the new NPFL season.
