When asked why 3SC is not in Aba for the play-off after the players were spotted training at the Lekan Salami Stadium early morning of Wednesday, Rasheed Balogun said his team won’t be honouring the tournament because the club lacks the personnel to do so.
“We will not be able to play the Super eight because we don’t have the personnel to execute the play-off , we only have 15 players and of which two are goalkeepers, because, after the Congress, we received a congratulatory messages and all every club did was to place players on transfer and preparing for NPFL.”
Mr. Balogun, however, refuted the claims that the club is afraid of taking part in the super eight.
“We are not afraid of playing the play-off, it’s just we don’t have enough players to prosecute to do and we have written to the NFF.” He concluded.
