Match-fixing has become a widespread international problem in recent years. It includes everything from bribery of players, to putting undue influences on the owners of the soccer clubs, managers, coaches and others who have the ability to affect the final scores.

Corruption in sports has existed ever since and its a continuous challenge to tackle.
