The management of Solution FC, Awka, Anambra State, has released an official statement clarifying the registration and ownership status of player Raphael Orngudwem following reports of a petition questioning the player’s eligibility in the ongoing 2025/2026 Nationwide League One (NLO) season.
In a report dated 22 May 2026 and signed by the club’s team manager, Okoye Amakom Augustine, Solution FC explained that the player was duly registered by the club before the start of the first stanza of the 2025/2026 football season.
According to the statement, Orngudwem submitted a letter of release from Abakaliki FC during his registration process with Solution FC.
The club further revealed that the documents were submitted via representatives linked to Cynosure FC, along with a separate loan transfer letter which indicated that the player belonged to Cynosure FC and had only been released temporarily.
Solution FC stated that based on the documents provided and the understanding reached between all parties involved, the club recognized that the player rightfully belonged to Cynosure FC.
The statement also revealed that the player was subsequently dropped by Solution FC on 20 January 2026 due to what the club described as an unsatisfactory performance.
The Anambra-based club has noted that concerns have emerged following allegations that Cynosure FC fielded an ineligible player, with recommendations reportedly suggesting that points earned by the club in the ongoing NLO season be withdrawn.
However, Solution FC maintained that the release letter issued to Cynosure FC by its manager on January 20, 2026 was authentic and not forged as claimed in some quarters. The club added that both Solution FC and Cynosure FC mutually recognize the player’s ownership status.
The club has called on the relevant football authorities and league management to conduct a fair and objective review of all available documents and communications before making any disciplinary decisions that may affect Cynosure FC or other parties involved.
Solution FC has reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, professionalism and compliance with football regulations governing player registration and transfers.
