Rivers Angels Pull Out Of Flying Officers Cup

Rivers Angels FC have pulled out of this year’s edition of the Flying Officers Cup scheduled to begin on Sunday in Abuja.

This sudden change was made known by the General manager of the club, Matilda Onyiloha-Otuene on Friday night.

According to the seasoned administrator, the team had to pull out in order to concentrate on their CAF Women’s Champions League preparations and reduce the risk of having more injured players.

Mrs Onyiloha-Otuene apologized to the organizers of the Flying Officers Cup for any inconvenience this decision may have caused.

“Our reason of pulling out is to fully concentrate on CAF preparations right now and avoid anything that would disintegrate the team at this stage”, Onyiloha-Otuene said.

“It was our desire to participate in this year’s Flying Officers Cup but due to the timing and our Continental event around the corner, we felt the need to opt out of it.

“We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused the organizers of the event but this was beyond our control”, she added.
