Former Super Eagles Coach, Samson Siasia has filmed a video begging well-meaning Nigerians to donate 250,000 euros to help him challenge his FIFA ban.
The former football striker was banned for life from participating in all football match by the world football governing body, FIFA in 2019 after he was found guilty of accepting bribes in order to manipulate matches.
Reacting to this, the former Nigeria coach has solicited the help of Nigerians in order to file an appeal with FIFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sport against the life ban.
He is begging Nigerians to help him raise funds so he can be able to defend himself and hopefully overturn the lifetime ban placed on him by the world football governing body.
In the short video, the former Nigeria coach said:
“Good day Nigerians, my name is Samson Siasia. I am coming to you at a very difficult time in my life and career. I need to raise the sum of 250,000 euros. That’s a lot of money. So l am appealing to all well-meaning Nigerians, the sports-loving Nigerians to come to my aid for me to use these funds to defend myself against FIFA. We have this calculation, if 200,000 people can give 500 naira each, we could be able to reach our target. I wanna thank you as you do this. God bless you”.
