The management of Heartland Football Club, Owerri, has officially released a public statement clarifying the status of its former General Manager, Mr. Promise Uchenna Nwachukwu, who, according to the club, no longer has any form of affiliation, representation, or authorization to act on behalf of the team.

In the statement signed by the Technical Manager of Heartland FC, Mr. Emmanuel Amuneke, the club made it clear that Mr. Nwachukwu ceased to be part of the management structure of the Naze Millionaires as far back as July 2024. However, due to recent developments and the need to protect the integrity of the club, the management deemed it necessary to publicly restate the facts.

The release explicitly warns the general public, football stakeholders, and governing institutions such as the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the Confederation of African Football (CAF), and the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) that Mr. Nwachukwu is not authorized to engage in any official or unofficial transaction, correspondence, or representation involving Heartland FC.

According to the statement, any individual, body, or organization that enters into agreements or discussions with Mr. Nwachukwu while assuming he represents Heartland FC does so at their own risk, as the club will not take responsibility for any such dealings.

> “Mr. Nwachukwu is not authorized to represent Heartland FC in any official or unofficial matters, nor is he permitted to act, speak, or transact on behalf of the club,” the management emphasized.

The release further reaffirmed the club’s commitment to transparency, professionalism, and accountability, stating that measures are being put in place to ensure that all communications, partnerships, and engagements involving Heartland FC follow proper procedures and are conducted through duly recognized officials.

Heartland FC also expressed appreciation to its supporters, partners, and football stakeholders for their continuous cooperation as the club undergoes strategic reforms aimed at restoring its glory, reputation, and competitive strength within Nigerian and African football.

Chelsea are now mathematically out of the Premier League title race.

This follows their 3-0 drubbing in the hands of Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday night.

Liam Rosenior’s men came into the match with 48 points, looking to keep pace with the teams in front of them.

However, Beto opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half, before adding a second after the break.

Chelsea barely threatened Everton and looked flat for most of the game, before Iliman Ndiaye added a third.

The result means the Blues cannot match the 70 points that league leaders Arsenal currently have with seven matches left.

Champions Liverpool are also on the verge of being mathematically ruled out, as they have 49 points.

Drama as Senegal reportedly relocates AFCON trophy to military base after Confederation of African Football (CAF) viral decision.

‎It would be recalled that CAF stripped Senegal of their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title, awarding it to Morocco instead.

This decision came after Morocco appealed the result of the January 18 final, where Senegal won 1-0 in extra time.

‎ According to the CAF Appeal Board, Senegal had forfeited the match due to their players walking off the pitch in protest of a penalty awarded to Morocco, citing Articles 82 and 84 of the AFCON regulations.

The controversy surrounds the AFCON final, where Senegal’s players walked off the pitch in protest of a late penalty awarded to Morocco.

In a clip circulating on the microblogging platform, X (formerly Twitter), a young man with glasses is seen holding the AFCON trophy surrounded by military personnel.

The clip captures the military personnel’s excitement as they support the trophy, with an officer recording the moment.

In a recent development, Senegal has announced plans to appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), with some officials and players expressing outrage and disappointment.
