Sportradar Security Services has signed an agreement with the second division of the Italian football league, Lega Serie B, to provide education workshops and online learning packages to all 22 clubs for this season and the next two.
Under the terms of the agreement, workshops and online learning modules will be provided to the senior and youth teams of each club.
The workshops will help participants understand why match-fixing is a growing problem, how fixers make their approaches and what the consequences of fixing are, using real-life case studies. The tutorials will support and supplement the workshops.
Serie B president, Andrea Abodi, pictured (left) with Sportradar’s managing director of integrity and strategy Andreas Krannich, said: “The most important asset of football are its supporters. Deceiving football supporters means deceiving the whole football world. That is the reason why knowledge and training about match fixing is essential for Serie B‘s credibility, and is fundamental to ensuring our stadiums are full.
“I would like to underline how important teamwork is to ensuring the effective defeat of match-fixing, and our key ally is Sportradar, which already collaborates with many other football associations worldwide”.
