The football match-fixing scandal you mentioned involves a large-scale investigation into alleged match-fixing, with 380 matches, including Champions League and World Cup qualifying matches, being scrutinized. Europol’s director, Rob Wainwright, has described it as the largest investigation of its kind, implicating 425 individuals, including referees, managers, and players, suspected of participating in match-fixing.
While the specific details about which matches and individuals are involved may emerge as the investigation progresses, it’s essential to wait for official statements and findings before concluding whether African football is directly affected by this scandal. Match-fixing is a serious issue that undermines the integrity of the sport, and investigations like this one aim to address and eradicate such corruption within football.
