CAF not investigating AFCON match fixing allegations

The Confederation of African Football have come out to say that the body is not investigating allegations of match- fixing involving Zimbabwe at the Africa Cup of Nations following their 4-0 defeat to DR Congo.

Zimbabwean newspaper The Herald reported that DR Congo could be kicked out of the tournament by CAF for trying to influence the result of the match against The Warriors on June 30 after a report by the Zimbabwe FA.

But the General Secretary of CAF, Mouad Hajji said that no official complaint has been received over the group stage game and the body isn’t carrying out any investigation.

Hajji said “At the level of the CAF, there is no suspicion, there is no hint of corruption about the Zimbabwe- DRC match in the third Group A match played on June 30, in Cairo. But if it turned out that there was anything and not only for this match, I remind you that our policy is a zero tolerance policy on corruption. As of today, there is no correspondence or issue.”
