Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okuu A two-month disqualification will begin at the start of the 2025/26 season.
This decision was made by the Italian Federal Court in disciplinary matters. The footballer was punished for “violating the principle of sporting honesty.” However, his involvement in organizing a contract match was ruled out.
The disqualification is linked to the episode of the Udinese vs. Lazio match on March 11, 2024. Okuu received a yellow card for a snub, and at one of the bookmakers, it was during this event that large bets were placed, which was the reason for the prosecutor’s investigation.
The Udinese club issued a statement today, expressing its support for the goalkeeper and satisfaction that all accusations of attempting to influence the outcome of the match have been dropped. Meanwhile, Udinese is awaiting the publication of the reasoned part of the court’s decision.
By the way, on March 11, 2024, Udinese defeated Lazio on the road with a score of 2:1.
