Ghana FA Accused of Match Fixing As Group G Fixtures In Ongoing FIFA World Cup Goes Down To The Wire 


The Ghana Football Association has called for police investigations into claims of alleged match-fixing. The British Daily Telegraph and Channel 4's Dispatches allege that a Ghanaian club official and a FIFA agent said they could arrange the rigging of matches involving the national team.

According to the report the two agents presented a contract worth 170 thousand for each match organised ,which the GFA President Kwesi Nyantakyi agreed to. But the GFA in a statement has denied the claims saying the contract was for the purchase of rights to friendly matches involving Ghana and not for match fixing.
