Former Super Eagles coach Samson Siasia has dragged the world football governing body, FIFA, to a court in the United States.

According to court papers exclusively obtained by Premium Times, Siasia has filed a case against FIFA at the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The former Nigeria international is, among other things, seeking compensation for the ‘damage’ done on his reputation by FIFA with their investigation on an alleged bribery case against him.

I feel for the bro but I wouldn't want him getting into more debt and not winning the case.

I think he has enough to drag FIFA to court. I doubt he would just take them to court without any $$$$ or defense

If he feels he was wronged, he can't worry about losing. Beisdes, this is a civil case, so the lawyer is probably working for a percentage of compensation if they win.

Fifa's judgement was not equitable and it really tarnished his reputation. Don't blame him. A life ban smells like some triggered officials wanted to 'show him', they should come explain how they arrived at a life ban.

I think that has been implied already.
He claimed he never saw the (email) communication sent to him on more than one occasion.
They took it as a ‘failure to appear’.
From there e enter ‘guilty’ and they gave him the worst possible punishment.

They always knew he could appeal which is what he did.
But let’s not forget. He wasn’t found ‘innocent’ no matter how we try and dress it up.
Remember, it’s not the life ban (which has been quashed anyway) that has primarily tarnished his reputation. It’s the bribery allegation which he wasn’t able to shake off.
I hope he has a top lawyer and a strong case. He better play the race card join.

The guy no do well at all and I have zero sympathy for anyone who circumvents or attempts to circumvent the laws.

He flouted the rules of the organization and he was rightfully punished(maybe too heavy handed) but he gets what he bargained for.

Don’t fall for your criminal urges, guys. Lol

For Those defending him, you may still be getting away with crimes but the days of reckoning is near. :D

No, he does not. FIFA did not need to prove their case to anyone when they convicted him on whatever evidence they had. Now they will have defend their judgement in an independent court, and will have to answer questions themselves.

tell the jokers on CE who are clueless to how the law works. We have two UK CEs cito and that damunk who chose to convict by believing FIFA the saints.. I weep for people like that . Let Siasia have his day in court, when that is done then we know where he stands. The fact that the ban was reduced to 5 years from a life time ban , makes one very suspicious about the entire accusation by FIFA

He actually has a good case. And he was well advised to file in New York.

Don't forget that FIFA doesn't have a good reputation in the United States.

FIFA might well be advised to settle before dem drag dem oustide the scope of what is being tried.

Yep that’s what I’m hoping for Sia1 that they don’t want the bad PR/repercussions that could come out of this and just settle him and keep it moving.

Did fifa actually unilaterally tried and imposed judgement without an independent court just because he didn’t report approach with bribery he never never accepted
