The multi-stakeholder Integrity Task Force established by FIFA to monitor all matches played during the 2022 FIFA World Cup for match-manipulation incidents and integrity-related issues successfully completed its work on December 22, 2022. No cases were identified.
As part of its work, the Task Force analysed monitoring reports of legal betting markets, conducted multi-jurisdictional inquiries, and reviewed surveillance of competition venues for any suspicious behaviour. No match manipulation threats to any game that was played during the tournament were detected.
The composition of the task force ensured an experienced, coordinated and timely response to any alert of possible match-manipulation incidents and integrity-related issues throughout the FIFA World Cup.
Looking forward, FIFA will continue to work with the members of the Integrity Task Force with a view to protecting future FIFA tournaments, starting with the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. It will also continue to develop its integrity strategies with confederations, member associations and other integrity stakeholders in the fight against match manipulation.
