UEFA Cup News :: UEFA to charge a club for match fixing UEFA Cup games

Posted on 2009-03-26 by Gooner

Uefa will bring match-fixing charges against a European club within days, European football's governing body said on Wednesday.

Ten preliminary matches from the current Uefa Cup season and 15 from last season had been under review for irregular betting patterns.

Uefa will launch a gambling investigating unit next season featuring experts who will review suspected irregularities in matches from European competitions.

"Uefa is setting up this betting fraud detection system across Europe to include 27,000 matches in the first and second division in each national association," said Uefa general secretary David Taylor at the Uefa congress.

"Only a few matches cause us problems but we are determined to root out this problem."
