FALSE GLORY THE FAKE MATCH & THE FIXER

Fake matches, bribed referees, criminal betting syndicates, and a web of deceit and lies with one notorious match fixer sitting in its centre. This is the story of how one of the biggest scandals in football unfolded.

September 2010 – Togo’s national soccer team travel 3,500 miles to play in an exhibition game against Bahrain.

When Bahrain lost 3-0, their coach raised his suspicions about the Togoan team who seemed incapable of lasting the 90 minutes.

It emerged that the match had been set up by Raj Perumal – who made a series of shocking claims. That he had been responsible for Nigeria’s qualification for the 2014 World Cup; had rigged South Africa’s friendlies before the 2010 World Cup; and was responsible for rigging hundreds of international games to make money from illegal betting schemes.
