Swedish operator Svenska Spel is partnering with Swedish Elite Football (SEF), to create awareness among young footballers about match-fixing at the annual youth tournament, the Gothia Cup. SEF is an organisation that represents the 32 clubs in the country’s top two divisions.
Svenska Spel and SEF will conduct a series of lectures to players of Swedish teams about the perils of match-fixing in football.
Gothia Cup, an annual event conducted by Swedish Allsvenskan top-tier club BK Häcken, has youth teams from all over the world, features players in the age group of 11–18.
Anders Wikström, a former professional footballer who now works with Svenska Spel and Swedish Elite Football to educate players about match-fixing, will deliver the lectures.
“As a young player you probably have not reflected so much around match-fixing; you play football because it’s fun,” Wikström said. “By highlighting the issue early on, we hope to prevent future match-fixing.”
