 Investigations into match fixing

Summary

5 March 2012

Match fixing experts are investigating a world cup qualifying match in which Bahrain defeated Indonesia ten-nil. Suspicions were raised because Bahrain needed to win by a wide margin2 in order to reach the next round. Football's world governing body FIFA has launched an enquiry.

Report

The unusual scoreline immediately raised eyebrows3 and sparked a FIFA investigation1. Bahrain needed to beat Indonesia by a nine-goal margin in Manama to stand a chance of reaching the next round of the qualification process for the 2014 World Cup.

The ten-nil rout4 almost sent them through as runners up in the group, but they also required Qatar to lose in Iran, a match which was drawn5. Indonesia had already been eliminated, and they fielded a relatively6 inexperienced team, but the heavy defeat was still unexpected.

Their goalkeeper was sent off early in the game and the referee7 awarded the home side four penalties. FIFA, which has a special match fixing department, has pledged to crack down on corruption8 in the game.

Early stages of international tournaments have been identified as possible targets for illegal gambling9 syndicates. The Asian Football Confederation said initial reports from the match officials have indicated that nothing was suspicious.

In Indonesia anger has been directed at the team and the country's football authorities. It follows a divisive period in which a rebel elite10 league was created. It almost led to a FIFA ban last year.
