The management of Vandrezzer FC has filed an official complaint to the Nigeria National League and other relevant bodies against Shooting Stars Sport Club (3SC) of Ibadan over illegal recruitment of their players Kolawole Adeyemi Daniel and David Oguntunde Mark, Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports.
The NNL side condemned Ibadan-based outfit for involving in such an abysmal act.
In a release issued by the club on Monday, Vandrezzer FC insisted that both Daniel and Mark signed a 3-year contract with the club which is still in force till 2022, and the players have not been released to 3SC nor their contracts terminated.
“Our
attention has been drawn to photographs circulating on social media, showing
two of our bona fide players - Kolawole Adeyemi Daniel and David Oguntunde
Mark, donning the jersey of Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC), which was posted
by 3SC on their Facebook page, presumably involved in pre-season training with
the Ibadan-based club.
“For
avoidance of doubt, we wish to state categorically that both Daniel and Mark
signed a 3-year contract with Vandrezzer FC which is still in force till 2022,
and the players have not been released to 3SC nor their contracts terminated.
“Though our
club is presently on break and would be resuming shortly for preparations
towards the 2021/2022 season, we deem it unprofessional for any player signed
to a club to don the jersey of another club or embark on pre-season activities
with them without the knowledge and permission of his club.
“We are
equally surprised that a club of the magnitude of 3SC and with history behind
it, would condescend and be involved in such an abysmal act, knowing fully well
that Vandrezzer FC holds the players registration. The provisions of FIFA's
Regulation on the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTP) and our football rules
on the domestic level are unambiguous as to the implication of inducing a player
to breach his contract with a club.
“To this
end, we have filed an official complaint to the Nigeria National League and
other relevant bodies, with supporting documents attached to show the current
breach by both 3SC and the said players, who are still in contract and
receiving their salaries from VFC.
“It is our
expectation that the authorities would deal decisively with this issue as it
remains one of the debilitating factors standing against the growth of football
in Nigeria.
“All clubs
are by this publication, advised to be wary of any third party claiming to hold
the economic rights of our players or to be entitled to participate, either in
full or in part, in compensation payable in relation to the future transfer of
our player from one club to another.”
