NFF PRESIDENT MAIGARI

Following the embarrassing result posted by two teams struggling to gain promotion to Nigeria Nationwide league, the Nigerian Football Federation has placed indefinite suspensions on four clubs after two scandalous results of 79-0 and 67-0 in the promotion play-off.

Winner of the playoff is to qualify to play the nationwide league division 3, a situation that pitched both contenders turning football into basketball with the outreageuos scoreline, Plateau United Feeders beat Akurba FC 79-0, while Police Machine FC demolished Babayaro FC 67-0. 

The  results forced the Nigeria Football Federation  to suspend the teams. Before this ignoble result, Ghanaian clubs had the record of such scandalous goals but they didn’t even score more than 25 goals.

Chairman of the NFF organizing committee, Mike Umeh, who is also NFF First Vice President, said he was alarmed when informed and promptly directed that the four teams at the center of the scandal be grounded, pending further sanctions on all involved.

He went on further to state that this is a scandal of huge proportions. The four teams involved are suspended immediately and indefinitely, pending further sanctions. We will investigate this matter thoroughly and get to the bottom of it,” Umeh said on Tuesday.

For now, that centre is suspended. The teams involved, their players and officials, match officials, coordinator and anyone found to have played some role in this despicable matter would be severely dealt with,” Sanusi said.

From Masquerade234 this is serious.
