Falconets star disowns Swedish club

Falconets forward, Francisca Ordega who is expected to play a key role in Saturday's third place match of the on-going FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup against Japan has distanced herself from claims of being signed by Swedish Club, Jitex FC.

A report on Swedish site Fotbollskanalen claimed that Jitex have reached an agreement to sign the player owing to her splendid performance in Japan.

But the 19-year-old Rivers Angels forward who has scored four goals in the competition described the claims as false aimed at jeopardizing her football career.

"l have been inundated with calls and mails from friends, club mates and family relatives back home in Nigeria congratulating me for what l do not know anything about," said the player.

"It is even more worrisome when there has been no contact whether verbally or orally with the so-called club in the past or now. I am extremely sad to hear this," added Ordega.

The club which claims to have an agreement with a Summer Football Centre in Nigeria said Ordega would be the first player from Nigeria to be contracted to the club.

She was also described by the club which plays in the 12-team top flight Damallsvenskan (ladies league) as one blessed with the right qualities.
