Nigeria National Soccer Team
FILE - In this file photo dated Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2008, Nigeria's head coach Samson Siasia directs his players during a men's semifinal soccer match against Belgium at the Beijing 2008 Olympics in Shanghai. The soccer coach who led Nigeria to win two Olympic medals had his life ban by FIFA in a match-fixing case cut to five years. The Court of Arbitration for Sport's judges say a life ban for Samson Siasia was “disproportionate” for a passive offense which didn't earn him any money. FIFA had expelled Siasia in 2019 for his past links to Singaporean match-fixer Wilson Perumal.(AP Photo/Eugene Hoshiko, File)
