World Cup match
between Nigeria Greece
There is a conspiracy theory that the Nigeria/Korea match at the 2010 World Cup may have been fixed!
A former FIFA security expert sparked new fears that
match-fixing and corruption are rife in international football last night by
claiming at least one World Cup match has been investigated.
In an interview, Chris Eaton, FIFA’s former head of
security, also claimed a player from the Championship had reported concerns to
the corruption unit.
The World Cup game under scrutiny, according to Eaton, was a
Group B fixture between Nigeria
and Greece at
South Africa 2010.
Super Eagles midfielder Sani Kaita was sent off in the 33rd
minute after kicking out at an opponent. The Eagles were 1-0 up at the time but
Greece won 2-1.
FIFA deny investigating any games from the tournament and
Channel 4 News in the UK
were unable to get a comment from Kaita or his agent.
UEFA are investigating evidence that suggests a Europa
League match was fixed last month. They say their betting fraud monitoring
system ‘detected suspicious betting patterns’ in Albanian club Tirana’s 5-0
defeat by Aalesund of Norway.
