AFCON 2025: Udinese to Release Maduka Okoye After Napoli Clash
Udinese will allow Maduka Okoye to join the Super Eagles camp for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations immediately after their Serie A match against Napoli on Saturday, DAILY POST has gathered.
Okoye had initially been scheduled to report to camp on Monday (today), but FIFA regulations permit clubs to retain players until December 15.
Udinese manager Kosta Runjaic confirmed that Okoye will depart for international duty once the clash with Napoli at the Bluenergy Stadium is concluded.
“We’re evaluating the situation. After the Napoli match, we will likely be without Rui Modesto, Okoye, Bayo, and Zemura, but this has been known for a while,” Runjaic told the club’s official website.
The 25-year-old goalkeeper is set for his second AFCON appearance, having served as Nigeria’s first-choice goalkeeper at the 2021 tournament in Cameroon.
