Exclusive: Oghenekaro Etebo Ruled Out Of Nigeria U23s Trip To United States
Published: June 28, 2016
According to information gathered by allnigeriasoccer.com’s editorial staff, CD Feirense midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo will not travel together with the Nigeria U23s squad to the United States, where they will hold a get-together ahead of the Olympics.
The first batch of players and officials will leave for Atlanta on Tuesday before the remaining batch joins them the following day, but the former Warri Wolves star will not be part of the traveling party.
Prior to his trip to Portugal to link up with CD Feirense in April, Etebo was issued a double-entry visa to the Schengen Area and it became invalid after his trip to France for the international friendlies with Mali and Luxembourg.
Thinking ahead, the 20-year-old has applied for another visa in Abuja instead of returning with the Dream Team VI squad to Nigeria at the end of the Olympic Games, as he is expected to return to Portugal immediately after the competition.
A United States visa has already been issued to Oghenekaro Etebo.
