FOOTBALL scandals and corruption in football at the moment aren’t just a local thing. EUFA has named five clubs it is to investigate for match-fixing scandals. They are KF Tirana, KS Vllaznia (both from Albania), FC Dinaburg (Latvia), NK IB Ljubljana (Slovenia) and Budapest Honved FC (Hungary).
UEFA will probe seven European club competition games involving the five clubs as part of its ongoing investigations into match-fixing.
The seven matches are all early qualifying round fixtures, one from the Champions League and six from the Europa League.

The European governing body denied reports that members of its staff are under suspicion, but launched its own investigation into the possible involvement of three referees and one other individual connected to UEFA.
In all, UEFA is looking into 40 suspected games, while German authorities are investigating around 200 matches, the majority from domestic leagues in Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Slovenia, Switzerland and Turkey.
