NFF Denies South Africa 2010 World Cup Match Fixing

The Nigeria Football Federation has moved to quash allegations of match fixing levelled against it by Singaporean Wilson Raj Perumal in his book.

Perumal who has recently served time in prison for match fixing claimed to have ensured Nigeria's qualification for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa by enticing the Mozambican national team with a promise of $100,000 if they would hold Tunisia to a draw in Maputo and ensure that Nigeria qualified for the competition.

The Black Mambas did better by defefating Tunisia 1-0 while the Super Eagles won 3-2 away in Nairobi against Kenya to reach the first ever World Cup on African soil.

SHOCKING!!! I Helped Nigeria & Honduras Fix Matches To Qualify For World Cup 2010 In South Africa Says Wilson Raj Perumal

A Singaporean match-fixer has made the astonishing claim that he helped ensure Honduras and Nigeria qualified for the 2010 World Cup, reports the Guardian.

Wilson Raj Perumal was arrested in 2011 in Helsinki in connection with match-fixing and was sentenced to two years in prison. Perumal admitted fixing international friendly matches but has made stunning new claims in a book, Kelong Kings.

In the book, co-written with investigative journalists Alessandro Righi and Emanuele Piano, Perumal claims that he influenced the outcome of games via a shell company he set up called Football4U.
