Siasia has been embroiled in the bribery scandal since 2021.

Former Super Eagles coach Samson Siasia has lost his suit against the world football governing body FIFA in an Appeal Court in the United States.

In August 2021, PREMIUM TIMES reported how Siasia’s travails started when he was approached by a match-fixer, Wilson Perumal, in 2010, while seeking a job with an Australian club. Though seeking to know the extra details of the monetary terms he was being offered, Siasia was also cautious in his approach.

The evidence established against Siasia by FIFA led to his ban, which effectively prevented him from using his U.S. Soccer Federation coaching license and also barred him from any other involvement in football globally.
