Match-fixing in Ghana football

There are several allegations of match-fixing in Ghana football, but not much evidence has been produced to back the claim.

In 2007, division one clubs Nania FC, Mighty Jets, Great Mariners and Okwawu United, were each fined GHS5,000 after they were found guilty of match-fixing.

Nania FC had beaten Okwahu United 31-0 in a game while Great Mariners wallowed Mighty Jets 28-0 in what many sports enthusiasts thought was unprecedented.

Following renewed allegations of match-fixing in some of the country’s recent local games, the Communications Director of the Ghana FA, Ibrahim Sannie Daara, said the FA was expecting a contingent of FIFA experts in Accra in January 2018 during its congress to help the FA handle issues of bribery and match-fixing.

“We have invited FIFA to deal with this situation of corruption, bribery, match-fixing and manipulation. So FIFA is sending some experts in this area to educate us. Those who will be educated will be members of the ethics committee, media men, match officials and all stakeholders who are susceptible to be influenced”, he said in a media interview.
