The Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) has fixed October 6 for the hearing of the appeal filed by a former Super Eagles player and coach, Samson Siasia, over his life ban by FIFA.
Siasia is appealing against the decision of FIFA that banned him over allegations of attempting to fix a match without giving him a fair hearing.
Speaking with THISDAY yesterday from Abuja, Siasia confirmed the new date, stressing that it is his only chance to prove his innocence.
“We have a date now at CAS for the hearing fixed for 6th of October in Switzerland,” observed the two-time Olympic Games medal-winning coach with Nigeria’s Under-23 team.
