Allegations of match-fixing in local football for the past few years are finally under the FIFA radar.
Word from T&T Premier Football League’s Chief Executive Officer, Yale Antoine, and Gordon Pierre, the Caledonia AIA executive member, confirmed yesterday that FIFA officials are in the country and have conducted interviews with players on the matter. Neither could say who the members of the sport’s world governing body are but explained that, due to the ongoing concerns of match-fixing here, they (FIFA members) would have arrived here secretly to conduct investigations without anyone knowing.
Allegations of match-fixing have rocked local football at the top-flight Tier 1 and Tier 2 levels, but despite the matter being raised in various quarters of the football fraternity, the issue has been swept under the carpet.
