The event is being organized by Steve Menary, leader of an Erasmus+ project funded by the European Commission who has conducted three years of research into match-fixing in friendlies, or non-competitive matches, with the University of Nicosia.
Menary will present a 112-page report that looks at the problem of match-fixing in friendlies and was written with the assistance of players and player unions in Malta, Cyprus and Greece, as well as EU Athletes.
The conference will also feature a presentation about FIFPRO’s Red Button app, an athlete-only mobile-phone app that gives players an effective way to report illegal approaches anonymously without compromising their security.
