Description

A journalist investigates corruption, bribery, and match‑fixing in football across Asia, Europe, and World Cups. He interviews mobsters and middlemen who influence players, referees, and officials, exposing gifts, cash payments, and other incentives. The book discusses how fixed games may affect match statistics and outlines reforms such as more women and professional referees, better pensions and education for players, and the creation of integrity units within each football association staffed by former police officers. It challenges readers to confront the hidden corruption in the sport.
