Aliyu Abubakar Reveals Clause In KuPS Contract Stipulating He Must Be Released For Olympic Games

KuPS defender Aliyu Abubakar has revealed that there’s a clause interested into his contract that stipulates that the the Finnish Veikkausliiga side have to release him to the national teams whenever he is invited.

It is confirmed beyond reasonable doubt that the former Golden Eaglets defender has been named to the Dream Team VI provisional roster for the 2016 Olympic Games.

But his participation had been in doubt, that is if he makes the 18-player roster in the first place, as the Finnish top-flight will be in full swing during the Olympic Games and Euro clubs can’t be forced to release players on their rosters by Fifa.

“Yes, KuPS will release me for the Olympic Games if I am invited. It is part of my contract, any national team call up has to be accepted by them,”Aliyu Abubakar told allnigeriasoccer.com.

“I am not aware I am in the provisional squad but I would love to play in the Olympic Games. It is part of my dream.”

The 18-year-old Abubakar has been involved in the first four games of the new season for KuPS.
