“In line with its long-standing practice, UEFA refrains from commenting on investigations or even the existence of potential investigations into alleged match-fixing, so as not to jeopardize the investigation procedures. In relation to anti-match-fixing activities at national level, UEFA provides a wide range of expertise to its national associations and, in particular, to the network of Integrity Officers appointed by each national association.”among others, the European Football Federation said in a statement.
