Bafana chase Okon, Nigeria hold lead

Posted : 21 October 2023
The South African Football Association (SAFA) is locked in a battle with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for the services of rising star Ime Okon.

Okon, who is currently playing for SuperSport United in the South African Premier Soccer League (PSL), has impressed with his performances for both club and country. The 20-year-old defender has already made four appearances for Bafana Bafana, and he is seen as a key player for the future of the national team.

However, Okon is also eligible to play for Nigeria, as his father is from the West African country. The NFF has already made contact with Okon, and they are keen to persuade him to switch allegiances.

SAFA is determined to keep Okon, and they have offered him a place in the senior national team. However, the lure of playing for Nigeria could be too much for Okon to resist.

The Super Eagles are one of the biggest teams in Africa, and they have a rich history of success. They are also regular qualifiers for the World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations.

Bafana Bafana, on the other hand, are still rebuilding after a period of decline. They have not qualified for the World Cup since 2002, and they have only reached the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals once in the last six tournaments.

The decision of where to play his international football is a difficult one for Okon. He has a strong connection to both South Africa and Nigeria, and he will need to weigh up the pros and cons of each option before making a decision.

The outcome of the race for Okon's signature will be closely watched by both SAFA and the NFF. The player's decision could have a significant impact on the future of both national teams.
