For Advertising and Sponsorship - [email protected] • Match-Fixing in Football: Scandals Involving Famous Teams • Match-fixing in football refers to reaching an agreement, usually for financial gain, to manipulate the outcome of a sports match. While this occurrence is commonly observed in lower or amateur leagues, today, we will delve into match-fixing scandals at the professional league level. • Italy's Match-Fixing Scandal • Juventus, Lazio, Milan, Fiorentina • When a team gets relegated, players leave, and the real men stay, according to Nedved. What would you do if such an event happened to your team? If your team were relegated due to match-fixing, would you stay with that team? I'm waiting for your answers. We extensively covered what happened to Juventus, the main actor in the events. Now, let's take a look at what happened to other teams. AC Milan started the next season with a -8 point penalty. Fiorentina, on the other hand, began the next season with a -19 point penalty, and their right to play in the Champions League was revoked. Lazio also started the new season with a -11 point penalty, losing the right to participate in the UEFA Cup. • Totonero Match-Fixing Scandal • Milan, Lazio • Milan's involvement in match-fixing is not limited to 2006; there are previous cases in their history. In 1980, Milan President Felice Colombo and some Lazio players were arrested for illegal betting. • Genoa Match-Fixing Scandal • Italy has an abundance of match-fixing cases, and Serie A, among major leagues, has witnessed the most incidents. Italian teams continue to engage in match-fixing despite receiving severe penalties. Now, let's turn our attention to an incident involving Genoa. • Marseille Match-Fixing Scandal • Going back 29 years to 1993, during a time when French football made a mark in Europe, a French team had won the only Champions League trophy for the country. After the Champions League final, Valenciennes player Christophe Robert revealed that he had received a money offer from Marseille. His teammates Glassmann and Burruchaga also disclosed similar offers. Each player was offered 250,000 Francs to play poorly and lightly in the match. There were suspicions about the match even before the revelations. Glassmann, who refused the offer, complained to the coach, earning the FIFA Fair Play award in 1995. In the following years, teams like CSKA Moscow and Rangers accused Marseille of attempting to bribe them. • Germany Match-Fixing Scandal • Rot Weis Oberhausen, Arminia Bielefeld • I'm talking about two mid-table teams fighting against relegation in the Bundesliga during the 1970-1971 season. • Portugal Match-Fixing Scandal • Porto, Boavista • In 2007, the Portuguese government launched an operation called final whistle due to match-fixing between these two teams. As a result of this operation, Boavista was relegated to the Portuguese Second Division. Additionally, Porto had 6 points deducted for offering bribes to Boavista. • Greece Match-Fixing Scandal • Olympiacos • The match-fixing case in Greece is quite complex. Those familiar with Olympiacos may know their president, Marinakis, one of Greece's wealthiest and influential individuals. In 2011, a match-fixing case was opened against Marinakis. Allegations included Marinakis appointing referees for certain matches, interfering in federation decisions, and even selecting the federation president. He facilitated matches with loaned-out players sent to other teams in the Greek league. Marinakis was accused of influencing even the technical directors of some teams in the Greek league. • #fixed #matchfixed #juventus #milan #porto #olympiakos #marseille #barcelona #realmadrid #lazio
