A scandal has erupted in Bulgarian football, prompting investigations into potential match manipulation. A member of teh board and First vice President of Fifpro,the world players’ union,has addressed the situation,confirming a strict ban on player betting related to their clubs.
The official stated that the issue of betting and participation in related actions is regularly discussed with team captains and players.
