Three international players Red Flames U16 were approached a few months ago, at an international tournament, to influence the final result of a meeting.
Thibaut De Gendt, Integrity Officer of the Belgian Football Union, announced on Wednesday during a hearing in the Flemish Parliament on the suspicion of fraud in Belgian football.
"It's about three 15-year-old girls," said De Gendt. "After a training session, a Turk offered them $ 50,000 each to influence the match, and the girls informed the federation directly, who forwarded the information to the international federations (UEFA and FIFA, ed) and the federal prosecutor's office. The investigation is ongoing. "
"This example proves that this can happen at all levels and even among young people," continued Thibaut De Gendt. "It is therefore essential to inform and educate our players to the dangers of these match-fixing, from an early age."
