World football –governing body, FIFA has slammed  the coach of Cofine FC of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Remi Amadi with a global ban of two years from all football-related activities.

FIFA Disciplinary Committee made this decision known to the Nigeria Football Federation, and it is a consequence of a similar ban imposed on the gaffer by the NFF Disciplinary Committee at its meeting of 16th August 2021 after the coach admitted before its committee that he attempted to manipulate the result of the match between Cofine FC v. Bussdor FC.

The match was played on March 15 at the University of Calabar Stadium as documented in an audio conversation between Amadi and the NFF committee.

The NFF Integrity Unit forwarded the said decision of the NFF Disciplinary Committee and all the relevant documentations to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee through a letter dated 25th August 2021, requesting the Committee to extend the sanction to have a worldwide effect, in accordance with Article 66, FIFA Disciplinary Code.

The worldwide effect was activated by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee at its meeting on 5th October 2021.
