Aljazeera Claims Kenyan Players Were Bribed To Fix Match Vs Nigeria In 2009 by jstbeinhonest(m): 8:37pm On Jul 26, 2016
An investigative piece on
Aljazeera’s People and Power has
detailed how international
football frauds bribe players,
referees and national federation
officials to rig international
qualifiers matches for money.
In the piece shown on February
19th, up to 3 Harambee Stars
players were offered close to $
100,000 to loose the match to
Nigeria so that the West African
nation would qualify for the FIFA
2010 World Cup in South Africa.The names and faces of the
players who met the
Singaporean behind the deal at
Safari Park in November 2009,
are blacked out but it will not
take time before the names and
details of the scam is fully
revealed to the Kenyan public.


The man behind the whole deal
is mentioned as Wilson Raj
Perumal who became a key
suspect and later witness in
FIFA’s clampdown on football
corruption. He has spent a
considerable amount of time in
jail for his illegal football dealings.


In the piece, Perumal is said to
have bribed key Mozambiquean
officials and players up to $
100,000 to beat Tunisia in the
qualifying match so as to
guarantee Nigeria a place in the
2010 World Cup.

The Nigerian
contact in the deal was one
Prince Odira.
The revelations will shake the
football community in the
continent.
