Federation of International Football Association Friday said it has
banned former Nigerian coach Samson Siasia for life on “all
football-related activities” over allegations of match fixing.
FIFA also said Siasia, 51-year-old, has been fined CHF 50,000 ($51,051.66).
FIFA said in a statement that the adjudicatory chamber of their
independent Ethics Committee found that Siasia was “guilty of having
accepted that he would receive bribes in relation to the manipulation of
matches in violation of the FIFA Code of Ethics.”
He is the third African to be banned by Fifa for his links to Perumal
after former Sierra Leone FA official Abu Bakarr Kabba and former
Botswana FA official Mooketsi Kgotlele were suspended in July for five
years and for life respectively.
