Players and officials of clubs involved in two Nigerian promotion play-off games that ended 79-0 and 67-0 have been banned for life.

Plateau United Feeders were 79-0 victors over Akurba FC while Police Machine FC demolished Bubayaro FC 67-0.

The four clubs have been banned from the game for 10 years.

A Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) committee recommended that match officials involved in the two matches should be given life bans.

Plateau United Feeders and Police Machine went into the matches level on points, with promotion to the lowest tier of the Nationwide League Division at stake.

Feeders scored 72 of their goals in the second half, while Police Machine reportedly scored 61 times after the break in their game.

The results meant that Plateau edged above Police Machine on goal difference.

The NFF said in a statement: "The NFF have accepted the recommendations and they would be communicated to the clubs, the state FA's, CAF and FIFA.

"We will publish all the names of players and officials with their photographs and details."

Good riddance to bad rubbish!!!..Kudos to Maigari led administration..not bussiness as usual..hope Mr Retardeen cn take a cue from this and always be decisive..This is wat Nigeria needs..Neccessary decision at the shortest possible time and not endless committees

Match Abuse

End of careers. So shameful. They can't even go to Europe which I believe is the dream of most of them.

Others should learn from this.

79-0? When it is not that superstitious story about playing India 0-99!!!
Was the goalie sleeping all through?
Good riddance to bad rubbish
An audit of the league should be the next thang

Good decision,if it will be allowed to stand.

SUPER STORY *waiting for episode 2*

Ok

sweet, that serve them write...10yers small sef
Hw on earth can a normal match end up with does high score wen no be india day play d match?

Welcome development,but what about the Coaches,referees,club officials,match commissioners and 10years for the clubs is just too small nau

I wonder if this would work in a country where
1. International Passport can be gotten without any documents of existence.
2. Driver's License can be purchased at a price
3. National ID require just a 'word of mouth' evidence.

I could be anybody at anytime in Nigeria, The only thing I will miss will be my credentials and reference letter.
For these people whose selling point is their legs. They could be reborn.

Haba na basket ball?

some guys just made mills somewhere

I just remembered the Nigeria Vs India match of 1796

I pray that NFF enforce it.
Last Bullet:
Those involved in that scam are so dumb that they were blind to think about the outcome of their senseless fraud!
The scoreline is sooo...fallacious that a crazy man ll know that it's match fixing.

Richfella: I just remembered the Nigeria Vs India match of 1796

Fellow Nigerians, I Chief Dr Okiki_Oluwa is here today to erase the fallacious story that India defeated Nigeria 100-1 in a football match in 1976, 1886 or whatever year. It's an ugly lie.
