There seems to be an official silence over the purpoted removal of the Captain of the Super Falcons of Nigeria, Asisat Osoala.
This is just as the team prepares for its defence of the global title in Morocco in July this year.
There were reports that Osoala had been stripped of her status as the captain of the team while officials have remained silent over who is to be named captain of the female soccer team.
There is said to be tension within the team as at Friday when the officials kept mum over who takes over the captain’s bib.
An official of the team who pleaded not to be named said it is difficult to comment on the matter at the moment.
The official pleaded for what was described as “official position” later.
Soccer analysts believe Osoala’s removal might distabilise the team at this time when all efforts should be geared towards how to retain the world cup.
