FIFA 'evaluating' Ghana match-fixing allegations
By Liam Twomey 16 hours ago
RIO DE JANEIRO — FIFA confirmed it has been contacted by the Ghanaian Football Association regarding allegations that one of its senior figures agreed to arrange for the national side to take part in rigged matches.
An undercover investigation by The Telegraph newspaper and English broadcaster Channel 4's "Dispatches" program appeared to show Christopher Forsythe, a FIFA-registered agent, and Obed Nketiah, a senior figure within the Ghanaian FA, on camera claiming to be able to employ corrupt officials who would help fix friendly matches played by Ghana.
On Sunday the Ghanaian FA revealed in a statement that it had reported the pair to the police for allegedly "misrepresenting the GFA with an attempt to defraud," and FIFA says it is aware of the allegations.
In a statement, world soccer's governing body said: "We are aware of the media reports and have been contacted by the Ghana Football Association on this matter. In line with standard procedures, FIFA's security division is evaluating the matter. It is important to note that we have no indications that the integrity of the FIFA World Cup has been compromised.
"Speaking generally, the integrity of the game is a top priority for FIFA and as such we take any allegations of match manipulation very seriously."
dont see how it has anything to do with US or Germany, tbh.
Ghana nigs be salty like fried chicken
fixing friendlies
lol FIFA
Fee-fi-fo-fum
Don't brush this off.
Look at the 2 worst calls in the Tournament
- against Croatia
- against Bosnia
Both European.
Yeah some extreme match fixing needed for a draw vs Germany. Lol this stupid ing thread.
lol teams playing against Ghana in the most horribly refereed tournament in the last 20 years. The same Ghana that is accused of fixing a game or two a short while ago.
Hopefully it is now clear enough to be easily understood by someone that obviously entered the wrong football forum.
