The coach of the South African football team, Gordon Igesund, is facing a dilemma ahead of the African Nations Championship (CHAN) scheduled to begin on January 11. Several clubs, including Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, and Ajax Cape Town, are reluctant to release players for the competition, as it coincides with the ongoing South African championship. The concerned clubs fear that the absence of their key players will adversely affect their performance. Notably, Kaizer Chiefs is set to lose six significant players. The challenge for the South African Federation is to find a solution to this problem, such as potentially pausing the local championship during CHAN 2014.
