CAN 2006 : Players Torn Between Country and Club (29.12.2005)
National federations have the power to punish players who turn down their invitation.
The friction between European clubs and African national teams on the availability of players for appointments with their national sides is rife as another African Cup of Nations approaches. Many players are presently torn between their clubs and countries and have to decide where their loyalty lies before the competition begins on January 20, 2006. The crux of the chaos, which has deepened due to the good performances of many African players in the various European leagues over the years, is that clubs are unwilling to release their "prized assets" during the crucial point in their leagues, while African countries and CAF want the finest crop of players from the continent to participate in Africa’s biggest football bonanza. Managers of the 16 teams taking part in the competition, have to go through the herculean task of convincing their star players to put on the national colours.
Virtually all countries are involve in the row. Cameroon’s Eto’o, for example, is still to make up his mind on whether or not to be in Egypt. Nigeria’s Yakubu Ayegbeni has admitted he would rather help his club, Middlesbrough, to a good finish in the English Premiership than go to next year`s African Nations Cup with Nigeria. On the contrary, Bolton`s Jay-Jay Okocha, has revealed he will play in Egypt before retiring from international football. Chelsea striker, Didier Drogba, has also confirmed that he prefers to play for Côte d’Ivoire.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have asked Ghana to allow Michael Essien to commute between Egypt and England during the tournament.
Over the years, several players have found themselves in this dilemma. Some club managers have made matters worse as they use threats of players losing their places in their teams as intimidation. As a result of this ugly tactic, some of Africa’s talented players have always been absent from the Cup of Nations. Under FIFA rules national federations have the power to sanction players who turn down their invitation. This is because CAN is a recognised event on FIFA’s international calendar. Following the "uniform world calendar" which harmonises all football dates worldwide, clubs must release players two weeks before a major tournament. Unfortunately, during this period, league matches continue in Europe. Players who find themselves in a fix thus have no other option but to negotiate with the national associations.
Sports critics say the row can be avoided by putting the African Cup of Nations final at a similar date with the European Championships. CAF President, Issa Hayatou, has ignored such ideas saying it`s not possible to play in July because of the prevailing climate on the African continent. From a cynical point of view, the absence of some key players at the Nations Cup will also give an opportunity for new faces to be seen. For, above everything else, nature abhors vacuum. And who knows, such new players might provide the missing knot in the quest for new identities by some national teams!
