AFC targets match-fixing

A PAMPHLET highlighting the “3Rs” — recognize, reject and report — is the latest tool to be distributed by the Asian Football Confederation as part of its ongoing fight against match-fixing in the region.

Asia’s soccer governing body will distribute the pocket-sized booklet at all AFC competitions to educate stakeholders against the ills of match-fixing, the organization said in a statement on its website (www.the-afc.com).

Match-fixing is rampant in Asia with cases being reported across the continent, including recent scandals in Vietnam, Malaysia and Australia.

“In line with the AFC Integrity Action Plan, this booklet falls under the prevention measures being adopted by the AFC,” said Sanjeevan Balasingam, the director of the body’s integrity unit.
