Three officials from football's ruling body FIFA will arrive in Malaysia on Thursday as part of a global investigation into match-fixing and illegal gambling. The anti-corruption unit will be led by FIFA's head of security Chris Eaton, Azzuddin Ahmad, general secretary of the Football Federation of Malaysia (FAM), told AFP Wednesday.
Azzuddin said Eaton would meet FAM deputy president Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah and top police officers from the vice and anti-gaming unit as part of FIFA's global crackdown on match-fixing on three continents. FIFA is investigating claims that more than 300 matches on three continents were influenced by match-fixers. Last week, the New Straits Times newspaper said FIFA's full investigation into match-fixing had led to two Malaysians, adding that its investigators would interview several people here.
