| Scotland supporters in joy mood |
Police have launched an investigation into attempts to fix a World Cup
friendly between Scotland and Nigeria that is due to be played in London
tomorrow, the Telegraph can disclose.
Officers from the National Crime Agency, Britain's equivalent of the FBI which
investigates serious and organised crime, are understood to have asked Fifa
to issue an alert over potential attempts to rig the game.
The football match is one of a sequence of friendlies that serve as a warm up
for the World Cup in Brazil next month and is due to be played at Craven
Cottage, the home of Fulham Football Club.
It is understood that the Scottish Football Association has been liaising with
the NCA after the game was "red flagged".
Premiership footballers are expected to play at tomorrow's game, including
Chelsea’s John Obi Mikel, Liverpool’s Victor Moses and Manchester United’s
Darren Fletcher. There is no suggestion that any of the players are
involved.
You called that Nigeria football is still facing match fixing allegation which was raised last month
