FIFA Legends unite to encourage players, coaches and officials to recognise, resist and report match-fixing

FIFA and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) have joined forces today, International Anti-Corruption Day, for a new campaign encouraging football to speak out against match-fixing and to raise awareness about FIFA’s confidential reporting platforms.

Against the backdrop of the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on football, and the subsequent economic uncertainty and the higher integrity risk faced by many players and clubs around the world, the new joint campaign by FIFA and the UNODC aims to raise awareness amongst players, coaches and officials about the confidential platforms available to report approaches by suspected match-fixers and to encourage anyone in football who may have been approached to come forward.

Coinciding with International Anti-Corruption Day on 9 December, which this year aims to highlight the need to “Recover with Integrity”, the joint campaign features messages from a range of FIFA Legends, including Sun Wen, Iván Córdoba, Luke Wilkshire, Wael Gomaa, Stipe Pletikosa, Clémentine Touré and Bibiana Steinhaus, who encourage everyone in football to recognise, resist and report any approach to fix a match via FIFA’s confidential reporting platforms.

To submit a confidential report, which will be handled in the strictest confidence by FIFA’s dedicated integrity experts, visit fifa.com/bkms, download the FIFA Integrity App or contact integrity@fifa.org.

Recognise. Resist. Report. If you are approached by a suspected match-fixer, speak out confidentially via fifa.com/bkms, the FIFA Integrity App or email to integrity@fifa.org
