Nigerian Players Banned For Life For Match-fixing Scandal

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.
