Investigation into World Cup match-fixing involving Arab team
An official investigation has been initiated concerning the possibility of manipulation in some 2026 World Cup matches, aimed at influencing game outcomes for betting purposes. Reports have indicated unusual incidents, including a red card awarded to a South African player during the opening match, and significant financial trades exceeding $4.5 million on the Polymarket platform regarding predictions of a draw in the Spain vs. Cape Verde game, which indeed ended in a draw. Additionally, a review of Ferran Torres’ goal against Saudi Arabia raised questions, following surprise over the lengthy review process by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). Conversely, FIFA (the International Federation of Football Associations) confirmed that there is currently no evidence indicating that betting activity has affected match results. Ongoing investigations are being conducted to ensure the integrity of the tournament.
