The European Football Federation has launched a new bid to find individuals or groups to support the fight against sports match-fixing.

The bid, in particular, aims to select companies to conduct feasibility studies to examine ways to strengthen football's capacity to investigate and prosecute match-fixing cases.

UEFA, which announced the plan for the first time after an executive committee meeting in Ljubljana last month, said the study could help bring it closer to public authorities, national police, government and state prosecutors.

The agency that wins the bid must work within the same regulatory framework as the Council of the European Macaulin Convention. Moreover, it will work with partners including European law enforcement agency Europol.

In addition, the winning bidder must work with other sports associations and governments across the 55 countries of UEFA associations.

UEFA said in December that it would consider and choose the championship offer. "Since 2009, UEFA has established a full-time match-fixing organization. UEFA is committed to protecting the very essence of football's spirit and fighting the catastrophe of match-fixing.
a problem beyond UEFA

Aleksander Cheferin, president of UEFA, said, "Collectively and individually, we need to do more to actively fight match rigging because we haven't done enough. The most important thing is cooperation with the government. This is because our issue is always and always even if we know a lot, each case has to be prosecuted."

"The main problem is that our jurisdiction ends in football. We can't knock on phones, we can't put people in jail, and it's a problem that we can't solve ourselves because a lot of computer servers are 10,000 km away in Europe. This research will look at how to bring together different actors on this stage, so we're all working in partnership, not isolation, to address one of the biggest threats to the integrity of the sport."

According to a report released by StatsPerform in August, dubious betting activities surrounding international and domestic football matches declined in 2018. A total of 377 matches were identified as questionable, compared to 397 in 2017.

The World Football's Suspicious Betting Trends report was prepared using data from 62,250 football matches held in 2018. This included domestic and international competitions from 115 countries and six continents.

By region, Europe had the highest number of suspicious games. However, Asia had the highest percentage of analyzed games.

Personal responsibility
Sports officials have repeatedly said sport itself has no means of effectively preventing match-fixing, and only state authorities do.

The UEFA, which is struggling with the corruption scandal itself, believes there are many reasons to step up its fight against match-fixing, so the feasibility study will address those challenges.     카지노사이트

Organizations wishing to bid must express interest by Oct. 28. Candidates who advance to the next stage must be notified by Oct. 30 and then submit a full proposal by Nov. 27.

UEFA will then evaluate all proposals and appoint partners by the end of the year.
