The Nigeria Football Federation has allowed all players of banned club Giwa FC to join other clubs as free agents till the end of the season, after the NFF disciplinary committee last week upheld the expulsion of the Jos Based club from the Nigeria Professional Football League.

In a letter to the Chairman of League Management Company (LMC), signed by NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi on Monday, the NFF wrote: “Based on the LMC’s expulsion of the club from the Premier League and the NFF ratification of the same measure and with special reference to article 14 & 23 of the FIFA regulations on the status and transfer of players, all players of Giwa FC as pronounced by the LMC and the NFF Disciplinary Committee are free to provisionally register for any club of their choice till the end of the 2015/2016 football season.

“Note also that, all the players are to return to the management of Giwa FC after the last match of the 2015/2016 League Season.”
