FIFA banned former Nigerian coach, Samson Siasia, for match fixing in 2019 and many people have assumed that he was banned for fixing Nigeria's matches. That's not the case. Samson Siasia Banned For Life By FIFA For Bribery, Match Fixing



There is a notorious Singaporean match fixer known as Wilson Raj Perumal. He is notorious for organising a lot of scam/fixed friendly matches for African countries, especially Southern African countries. His activities have led to the resignation, banning and dismissal of a lot of sports officials in South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Sierra Leone. He is also known for fixing matches in Asia and his activities led to the Asia-gate match fixing scandal. Mr Perumal has tried to fix matches in the Finnish League and the English Premier League.


Mr Perumal allegedly contacted Siasia and told him that there was a job vacancy in Australia. He was to help Siasia get the job if Siasia agrees to field players that Mr Perumal would select. Siasia had previously played in Australia in the 1990s.


However, the Australian club never accepted Siasia's demands, so he never got the job. Investigations into Mr Perumal revealed e-mail exchanges between him and Siasia. (Mr Perumal has been arrested and jailed in both Singapore and Finland for match fixing). This came to the notice of FIFA and the rest is history.

Mr Siasia said that he never met Mr Perumal and that he didn't do anything wrong. He said that he never accepted Mr Perumal's offer. He said Perumal contacted him by e-mail about a job offer in Australia, but the deal fell through because they couldn't pay what he wanted.




The Court for Arbitration in Sports reduced Mr Siasia's ban to five years because it said that Mr Siasia did not benefit anything (monetary or otherwise) from the interaction and he did not actually fix any match (he was never employed by the Australian club). Furthermore, they said that it was a first time offence and so it would be too harsh to ban him for life.

Samson Siasia: Life-Ban Reduced To Five Years By Court Of Arbitration For Sport

It is being reported that Mr Siasia plans to challenge the decision of the court.


However, Mr Perumal does have a connection with Nigeria. He claims in his book that he ferried Nigeria and Honduras to the final rounds of the 2010 South Africa FIFA World Cup by fixing their qualification matches. Mr Siasia was not the coach at the time.

So your problems with Siasia is that he's rich with many cars and lands and not poor? In your courts, that's why he's guilty. Bro go get a life

Innocent my ass, he considered the deal brother, that alone shows that he's a fcking crook.
Re: Why FIFA Banned Samson Siasia By Naptu2 by Osanoghodua1: 8:38am On Jun 22, 2021
I heard rumour that Siasia was corrupt before his players and hence that usually influence his selection for matches. I can't authenticate this though.

As an honest man, when a crook contacts you, it's best never to promise anything but block the crook, you can't tell what the crook us up to.

The rules for match fixing are similar to the rules regarding coups. If someone approaches you to fix a match, then you must say no and report it. It's not enough to just not do it. You have to reject it and report it.


If you are approached or suspect that a colleague or someone you know has been approached or is involved in fixing, then you must report it to The FA immediately.

https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/policies/betting-rules


According to the FIFA Disciplinary Code, every person bound by the Code shall immediately and voluntarily
report to the secretariat of the Disciplinary Committee any approach in connection with activities and/or
information directly or indirectly related to the possible manipulation of a football match or competition. As
part of its integrity action plan, every MA should set up its own reporting mechanisms.

https://resources.fifa.com/image/upload/protect-the-integrity-of-football-x4103.pdf?cloudid=rjvao05ofvgibipajldl

So the question is whether Mr Perumal asked Siasia to select certain players or to look the other way while matches are fixed and if he did, what did Siasia do about the request. That's the issue.

Sia Sia didn't do anything but still got 5 years?

Is 5 years the reward for innocence?


He did, by his actions, consider a deal from a known match-fixer.

Now he is innocent...however he still gets five years for not telling the match fixer to get the h**l out of his sight the first time said match fixer came into his visual field.

The famous retired Italian refree Collina did not get implicated in the famous Italian match fixing scandal of over 10 years ago despite his name comming up in the investigation because all the time his name came up it was the match fixers complaining that he won't even give them the time of day (two of them were recorded on telephone grousing about Collina and his refusal to even listen to them)

Match fxing is a serious problem in world sports...and sporting bodies tend to get too strict to deal with it these days. If every match was fixed, fans won't enjoy it...and move on to other sports...

No man has clean hands. In a poverty infested country like this, if you detach your riches from the poor , you will die in their hands like chicken. Let wisdom guide you.
From your comment, you seems to know alot about Samson and this is borne out of jelosy. Imagine if you were a kidnapper am sure you would have hurt him by now because you clearly look angry by his progress to the extent of mentioning where he has landed properties. You clearly wish him harm, or want those who can to harm him, therefore his street protection is justified.

If Siasia did nothing wrong his ban would have been dismissed outright by arbitrators.
