Naija Super 8: Remo coach fined for ‘inappropriate conduct’

By Daily Sports Nigeria on July 18, 2023

Head coach of Remo Stars,  Daniel Ogumodede, has been fined N250,000 by Naija Super 8 organisers for inappropriate conduct in the final match of the tournament on Sunday at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena,  Lagos.

This was disclosed in a statement issued by the organisers, Flykite Productions, on Monday.

The fine, Flykite Productions said, is on account of Ogumodede’s decision to order his players off the pitch over an officiating call he disagreed with.

The players, however, ignored the order and continued the match, which they lost 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in regulation time.

“We find unacceptable the conduct of Mr. Daniel Ogumodede, head coach of Remo Stars, in ordering his players to leave the pitch in protest against an officiating decision in the final match of Naija Super 8.

“His conduct, which displeased many top football authorities in attendance, was witnessed by a continent-wide audience watching on television.

Flykite stated, ”While we understand that there may be grounds for disagreeing with refereeing decisions, ordering a pitch walk-off is an inappropriate way to address such.

“The Rules and Regulations document handed to every participating club states the process for disputing such calls and does not include leaving the pitch in protest.

“Mr. Ogumodede’s club acknowledged the receipt of the document, which also prescribes sanctions for officials deemed by the Naija Super 8 Technical Advisory to have erred.

“Had the players not shown maturity, which Mr. Ogumodede should epitomise, the tournament would have been brought to an inconclusive end and into disrepute, as well as create a potential for fan violence.

“In view of this, we have imposed a fine of N250, 000 on Mr. Ogumodede for his inappropriate conduct.”

Naija Super 8 was held from July 7 to 16, with the final match attracting an attendance figure that many observers said they had not seen in ages.
