During the training, players and team officials participated in an interactive session aimed at understanding and combating match-fixing.
This encouraged open communication and the sharing of experiences.
“The participants also learned to recognize red flags and the various techniques utilized by fixers to approach players, such as establishing friendships and exploiting players’ financial needs,” said FKF in a statement.
“Moreover, they were encouraged to resist any approach by match-fixers or their agents and sensitized on the importance of reporting suspicious activities or advances. Emphasis was placed on the role of players and officials as fair play ambassadors to keep the integrity of the game intact.”
FKF also created awareness about match-fixing dangers and consequences by discussing real-life examples and case studies on match-fixing methods and their impact on the players, officials, and the game of football.
