Super Eagles goalkeeper Obasogie suspended by Tanzanian club over alleged match-fixing
Tanzanian club Singida Black Stars have suspended Super Eagles goalkeeper Amas Obasogie for alleged match-fixing.
Singida announced this in a statement on Friday. It said the club has barred Obasogie from football activities for three months, pending an investigation into his alleged role in fixing matches.
The 26-year-old was suspended alongside his teammate Khalid Aucho, whom the club said had been found guilty of “misconduct,” and will also be unable to play matches for the next three months.
“The leadership of Singida Black Stars SC, through the disciplinary committee, has taken disciplinary action against players Khalid Aucho and Amas Obasogie as follows: Khalid Aucho: Found guilty of misconduct and has been suspended from duty for three months.
“Amas Obasogie: Suspended from duty for three months pending investigation into allegations of match-fixing. The club reminds all players and staff to adhere to discipline, responsibility, and respect for the club,” Singida said in the statement.
Obasogie has been a regular member of the Super Eagles squad in recent times, mostly as a third goalkeeper. He made his debut for the senior national team when he came in as a substitute during a friendly match between Nigeria and Egypt in November last year.
The former Bendel Insurance player was also part of the Super Eagles squad that finished third at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco earlier this year.
