If you were brought up in Nigeria, you have probably heard about the legendary football match between Nigerian and India.



It was rumoured that, it was the 'Nigeria v India' soccer game that led to the nation of India to become banned from playing soccer by the FIFA Body.

Legend has it! India’s 99-1 win over Nigeria was no ordinary soccer game

The extra ordinary win over Nigeria, raised so many eye brows as regards to the prowess of the Indian team.

Many believed that the football team used jazz (Voodoo) to cover the eyes of the world.


And Nigeria, one of the brightest footballing nation had become a victim. Nigeria was thrashed like kindergarten kids playing against Bayern Munich senoir team. The score line ended 99-1 in favour of India.

From what I heard, the Indians scored with every shot on target because Nigerian players could not see the Indians on the pitch. Some accounts report that when the indians fired a shot, the ball would multiply into seven leaving the Nigerian Goalie bewildered.

Rumour has it that on occasion the ball would metamorphose into a lion and the keeper would take flight leaving an empty post.


By the time the indians where finished with us, they they had scored 99 goals against Nigeria. However pulling one back, phew! The nigerian team got a last minute penalty which Balogun Thunder took. As soon as he scored, Thunder Balogun died.

However, Growing up I realise this must be a fable. Whoever concocted such, must have taken us for a ride.

There is No need to check online, there isn't any such record. no footage on youtube or any other archives because lt never happened.

However what remains a mystery, yet to this day- is why India were banned from football, in all the years they were inactive.

Food for thought!

So share with us, What story did you hear about the legendary football match between Nigeria and India?
