FIFA’s claims of no match-fixing alerts during the World Cup have been refuted by one of its own Integrity Task Force members, the Council of Europe.
Recently, FIFA stated that its Integrity Task Force and international partners had not identified any suspicious betting cases during the World Cup.

This raises questions about the accuracy of FIFA’s integrity claims and the effectiveness of its monitoring mechanisms.
