Cameroon won the 1984 Africa Cup of Nations despite match fixing claims by Algeria and Nigeria against Ghana
Ex-Algeria midfielder Mohammed Shoaib has revealed that his country connived with Nigeria in a match fixing scandal to eliminate Ghana at the 1984 Africa Cup of Nations.
In what could be a massive disgrace for African football, the midfielder who played in the tournament in the Ivory Coast, says they struck a deal to eliminate the Black Stars.
Nigeria needed a draw to advance to the semi-final of the tournament but Ghana had to win against Malawi and then pray for the Super Eagles to falter against Algeria to be able to advance.
Ghana won the match against Malawi but could not advance because Algeria and Nigeria drew.
In a shocking revelation, Shoaib says Nigeria and Algeria hatched up the plan to settle for a draw to ensure Ghana elimination from the tournament.
The midfielder shamefully admits that they learnt how to fix matches following their ordeal at the 1982 where it was suspected a similar plot between Germany and Austria in the World Cup led to Algeria’s elimination from the tournament.
” We made a deal with Nigeria to end the game with a draw and they moved with us to the semifinal, while Ghana crashed out of the tournament although they won against Malawi” Shaouib told the Algeria media on Tuesday.
” Algerians were still depressed after the plot between Germany and Austria in the World Cup 1982 which ousted us so we did the same to Ghana two years later” he added angrily .
Despite Nigeria progression to the semi final they eventually lost the final match to Cameroon who clinched the title.
The Confederation of African Football could be sparked into an overdrive of investigating this revelation as it has got the potential to damage the credibility of the African game.
What do you think about this shocking news? What do you think the Ghana FA must do about this?

Comfession by fire,hahahaha, no wonder ,that’s why the two countries are struggling now. There’s more to come ,we are waiting.
Sunday the story is false.Just go to google and type 1984 nations cup and you will get the true story.We had already lost to Nigeria 1-2 and lost to algeria 0-( 0 points)2,Algeria had won two matches,2-0 against us and 3-0 against Malawi(6 points),Nigeria had 4 points by beating us and drawing with Malawi 2-2,so we were already out.

T,T but GSN could have doulble checked the story and see if was worth publishing it.I also know you can read so go to google and type “1984 African nations cup” and do your calculations and see if the story is true or not.
Thank you for drawing our attention. Indeed the story is false. I checked Google and even though the league table there is wrong, you are right. Before Ghana played Malawi, we had zero points while Nigeria had 4 and Algeria 6 points. Therefore even if Nigeria had been beaten by Algeria and Ghana had won by 100 goals to nil, we would never have qualified. Those who published this story owed us a duty to cross check their facts before going to bed with the story.
Check supersports news. The story is there live.
I’m not surprised Nigeria is involved…
Ok. It’s all good that these are coming out now. There are many more atrocities that should also come out. Ghana also have sold so many games to our rivals through corrupt officials. We should have won the AFCON more than six times.
These stories should help both GFA and CAF to do their job well. Nyantakyi, are you reading?
So what?
Fucking nigerians!…our own brother’s ‘ibano’
Nigeria needed a draw to advance to the semi-final of the tournament but Ghana had to win against Malawi and then pray for the Super Eagles to falter against Algeria to be able to advance.

algeria always do that. dont forget they drew with angola to advance with the host with mali crashing out as a result. And they would never win the afcon with this attitude of pitch mutiny. Form some super chickens whose team has been lacking inspiration and driving force for 6 years now, they will forever fear that 5 letter-word name G-H-A-N-A
It is gud dat dis secret has come out.Our teams shud not wait for other teams to determin their future but shud rada start it with vim. GHANAIANS SHUD STOP SAYING THEY ARE SLOW STARTERS
That is Algeria,this is not the only thing they did to Ghana,I can still remember some time back when every body thought Ghana was going to the world cup and Abedi fought really hard.This same Algeria sprayed their field with water making it impossible for Ghana to play.Abedi will take the ball but could not move as the water held the ball.The water kept increasing without any severe rains.That is Algeria,they are a disgrace to African football.

From Zambia to Uganda, from Uganda to Malawi and now you joined with Naija.
Don’t fool yourself, everybody can see that you are not a Zambian. Zambians hates Nigerians with passion just like South Africans and the rest of Africa. Only Ghanaians tolerate and co-habitat with Nigeria. Nigerians knows this to be true, but they cannot stop pretending and bragging even in Ghana.
Lets assume you are really a Zambian. Since when didyou guys start talking for Naija? and who invited you into a discussion that does not concern you?
Just mind your own business
@Full zambian pliz lets leave them alone tis not our battle
GFA and CAF shd investigate into this. They shdn’t keep quite. Aba! This is really bad

Low minded ugly juju Ghanaians. Go and ask ur impotent ugly juju keeper Richard Olele how many Match fixing, ghana ugly juju black stars did.

The First and only African to win Miss World is a Nigerian, Agban Darego, miss world 2001. Kenya and Ethiopia are making Africa proud in Olympics. Egypt won the highest gold in Africa Nation Cup.

You forgot to add that Nigeria won the most corrupted country in the world.
You didn’t mention Sani Abacha, IBB, Imoru Doku, Armed robbery and 419
@ Kenyagirl. You seem to know a lot. Your delibrate exclusion of some countries makes it obvious that you are iether biase or a fool. You left out the first black African to head the United Nations, and the first black African country to gain indepence. Also please check the African country with the highest number of football medals at all levels. You need some education. You can research the first African country to win an olympic football medal and Africa’s best performer at the FIFA World Cup.
Oh My God, what kind of country with low minded and envious like Ghanaians. Plz God help Ghanaians to be civilized and know that we are 21 century, Techonogy world. Plz for christ sake ghanasoccernet stop spreading liars. Plz Ghanaians should be smart and wise, just google and type, 1984 AFRICA NATIONS CUP. And you will get the true story. In Africa Cup of Nation 1984, Nigeria beat Ghana 2-1 and Nigeria lost to Algeria 2-0. Nigeria drew with Malawi 2-2. Algeria beat Ghana 2-0 and Algeria beat Malawi 3-0. So plz tell me the match fixing here. Plz ghanaians should try to learn to accept defect and take responsibility for what happened to you because no country is perfect and stop this hatred and envy you people have for Nigerians. Plz ghanasoccernet stop spreading liars about Africa football. Rest of Africans are not low minded and uncivilized like ghanaians. Africans are smarts and educated people.
My friend the story is not from Ghanasoccernet.
And stop calling yourself a Zambian, you are Nigerian parading as Zambian, are you ashamed to be a Nigerian?
Nigerians always forget that Ghana got independence before them, therefore we are much older than them?
If you are bigger than your father, it doesn’t mean his your equal. Learn to respect Ghana, because forever you are behind us, and nothing can change that.

hahahahahaha..naija
KenyaGirl, or whatever u call yourself, don’t breed hate sentiment here. talk soccer and stop being childish. Do u know of Kofi Annan, Kwame Nkrumah, Lord Boateng, Prof Akua Kunyehia, Prof Allotey? Every country has their heroes. GH teach Naija everything, check ur history books and stop bragging.
Ha ha ha…. Wondes shall never end. We know that Ghanaians are saints and angels as they pretend to be. But go and read ur Ghana history well, espectially 1981, when that Scoltish bastard called Jerry Rawlings were busy killing and jailing ur currupt criminal fathers. When hunger were killing those of your criminal fathers, and those of ur criminal fathers who were lucky to be alive ruin to the same Nigeria you ungreatful Ghanaians called criminal and 419. Your fathers were busy doing shoe shinning and wishing Nigerians toilets while ur mothers and sisters were busy doing cheap prostitutions in Nigeria. That is why ghanaian girls are cheap with 50 pesewes, u will fuck ghanaian girl day break and ghanaian men are the most lazy men in world. Sakawa ghanaians, go ask that criminal Afriad Woyome to bring back 500 million gh cedi he stole from ghana government, that make ghanaians crying everyday. And ask that short ugly, drug barron, Nana Akofo Ado to stop all die be die politics. Ask kennedy Aygpong to stop declaring war in Ghana and stop telling short ugly Ashantis to killed juju Ewes and Ga’s tribe. Ask that ugly Ashanti king ( otu fo hene) to stop using innocent children for sacrifice, we are in 21st century. And go ask ur former president Jerry Rawling who is his scoltish father. Also go and ask ur prostitution mother who is your father. Because 92% ghanaians don’t know father and 94% ghanaian women are single more with many children from different men.
This guy deserves to be ignored. Does he know anything at all. Nigerian are running to Gh for security. Chech how many nigerian celebrities live in Gh.
You people have allow ur selves to be taken for granted… the website soccernet is not own by a Ghanian ,they are aware is a force publication ,do u know da more u comment da more it helps dem with advertisement contracts,dont comment on KVP issues and when u see anything force…Africa Unites and stop dis hollabaloo we are lacking behind, ur soo called Richest Man been a NIGERIAN IS not even in world 20 Richest men in Forbes …so Africa buck up…

Your team just wasnt and isnt good enough despite u having great players, stop finding excuses for your loses, Nigerians ve enuf confusion in their country right now, pray for them!

@kenyagirl,god punish ur entire generation 4 coming on this site in the first place.wut do u know about football asshole’if u r a real woman the freaking kitchen is where u belong and after that off to the bedroom 4 u know wut. ashawo
Please don’t waste your breath on the Nigerians. They know Ghana is well-respected and well-loved in Africa, their own honest leaders always rate Ghana higher than Nigeria. We got Independence first and helped them out but they never mention it.
Most of Nigerian leaders attended free education in Ghana. In the 1960′s their army officers must first come to Ghana for a further training before any ranking – this coming out of the mouth of their former military head of state.
Ghana taught Nigeria how to play soccer and it is painful to them today when they remember that.
If Ghana is even half of Nigerians population, Ghana would have become America of Africa.
Nigeria was once one of the poorest countries in Africa till they discovered their oil. Immediately they planned to out-do and out-perform Ghana in everything.
The decided to build their cities to be more expensive than Accra and Kumasi and they did it. Many Nigeria wish they are Ghanaians but a Ghanaians never wished to be a Nigerian. many of them have naturalized and Hundred of thousands of them are using fraudulent Ghana passports today.
Shameless People!!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NIGER-AREA UNDER 17 OLD-WOMEN. Hahaha nigeria na wao.
You can be assured these U17 old women will die from old age before they migrate to your senior team.
When will our brothers ever learn? You did the same thing to your super eagles team, using old men to play under 20 and before they could progress to the senior team, they had all died out from old age. Now your coach Mr CASHI is desperately looking for players for the senior team and he can’t find none so he’s talking of rebuilding after all the disgrace you guys have suffered. LESSON: The results of age cheating will always catch up with you in the future. AMEN
BESIDES EVERYTHING NAIJA DO GHANA ALREADY DO DOUBLE. CHECK THIS OUT OUR GIRLS BEAT GERMAN BOYS, I REAPEAT GERMAN BOYS 30 – 0.

AHAHAHAHH. NAIJA NAWAO!
why is this site plagiarizing?? its a shame!
@kay, hahaha… Ghana was first Africa to have independent but after Ghana independent what happened, a Scoltish bastard called Jerry Rawlings rule Ghana again for 19 years with iron hands, killed and jailed those ugly corrupt criminals Ashantis, those who were lucky ran to Nigeria with their ugly shoe shiner boys and fat ugly prostitution wives and sisters to do cheap prostitution in Nigeria. Nigerians are smart business men, we are every where in the world even in Somalia, Syria, and Iran, taking opportunities that others didn’t see. Nigerians coming to ghana with their big companies such as Glo network, PZ Company, Intercontinetal bank, Zeneith Bank, Access Bank, Fidelity, Eco Bank, Energy Bank, UBA Bank, Stealing Bank and many more. Silverbird, the biggest cinema in Ghana is own by a Nigeria. Ur lazy ugly Ga’s tribe have sold all their lands in Accra to Nigerians and other foreigners. A trip to east legon and makola market will tell u more. Hahaha… Ghana is one of Africa gaint is the most comedy of the century, ghana can’t even produce chewing stick, even the grave of ur ugly late president John Atta Mills was dig by Chinese, can u mention one big company in Ghana that is own by a Ghanaian. U claim that Ghana was the first Africa to get independent but Boswana and South Africa who got their independence 20 years ago is 1 million ahead of Ghana in anything. To tell u how lazy and low minded ghanaians are, Ghanaians claim that Ghana got independent first in Africa and that Ghana is gaint of Africa in noise making ugly, and juju. But Africa Union headquater is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. ECOWAS headquater is in Abuja, Nigeria. Confederation of Africa Football(CAF) headquater is kharton, Sudan. Lazy, Ugly, juju ghanaians go and ask ur lazy fathers where they were we others are making things happen. Kwame Nkrumah fought for Ghana Independence but he seek Aslum in Guinea and dead in Europe. Nnamdi Azikiwe fought for Nigeria Independence and live and died in Nigeria. Nelson Madella fought South Africa Independence. Keyyeta fought for Kenya Independence, Nyerere fought for Tazanian independence and many more leaders fought for their country Independence, they live and die in their country. Why did Kwame Nkrumah ran to Guinea and live as a refugee in Guinea and died in Europe. For world politics appointment, Nigerian man name Ernest Ndukwe was the first and only African to be CommonWealth Secretary General. While an Egyptian man was first African to be UN Secretary General and follow by Ghana man Kofi Annan. Ghana is 24 million in population, ghana is Second producer of Gold after South Africa, second producer of Cocoa in the World after Ivory Coast. Ghana have oil, uncountable minerals and fertile land. But yet 95% Ghanaians don’t have ordinary toilet in their homes. 75% Ghanaian children can’t afford ordinary secondary school. Upper East Region, Bolgataga and Upper West, Wa, are heal on the earth, typical villages. Volta, Northern, Western Regions are glorified villages. Children from Upper East, Upper West and Northern religions are migrating to Accra, Kumasi to carry kaye ( loads) in their heads. While children from Ashatin Region are shoe shiner boys and Chinese are using some of them for illegal gold mininig and those from Great Accra Region are selling their grand fathers lands to foreigners and those Volta Region are using juju to attack theirselves and reaping their sisters every day. Even in Ghana Capital, Accra , apart from East Legon, Osu, Sprintex, other places are slums. Example places like Nima, Circle, Sodom and Gomoro. And Alaba in Kumasi. Ghana with their Gold, cocoa, oil, many natural minerals and fertile lands can’t even take care of their ugly 24 million population, what if when they are 59 million like Ethopia, 52 million like Kenya, 53 million like South Africa or 164 Million like Almighty Nigeria.
Pls nigeria is a good country, i love naija
