The Ghana FA has asked police to investigate allegations of match-fixing made in the British Press.
It’s reported by the BBC that the Daily Telegraph and Channel 4 television allege a Ghanaian official and a FIFA agent claimed they could fix matches involving the national team.
The allegations don’t relate to the World Cup and there is no suggestion any of the players in the World Cup squad are involved.
It’s said that two men wanted to buy the rights to Ghana friendlies. The Ghana FA passed the proposal to their legal committee.
“We wish to state that the GFA did not sign the contract as we waited for the response from the legal committee and that the two gentlemen did not make such corrupt offers to the GFA or its officials,” a statement said.
The issue has been referred to FIFA and the continental governing body, CAF, and the national police force has been asked to begin an investigation.
