When it comes to match fixing, those who capitalize want to generate the most money they possibly can. In order to do this, bigger sports, and bigger games will guarantee more money. The most popular sport on the planet is soccer. Which means that finding ways to fix soccer matches can result in a large pay day if proven successful. However, since soccer is the premier sport for most people globally, it also makes it harder to fix matches than it may be in some other sports. Which is why this article exposes the group who decided to infiltrate from the inside of the sport, hoping to guarantee their safety. In this article, FIFA is investigating a soccer referee named Joseph Lamptey for several match fixing allegations. It is common for referees who are guilty of match fixing to award penalty kicks to teams for unusual or questionable instances. This allows for betters to cash in on more goals being scored. Lamptey had been watched for years due to suspicions of his potential corruption, and he was actually suspended several times for his poor performances while officiating matches. However, FIFA would eventually have the evidence and the reason to suspend him for life due to his tactics, thus eliminating one of the corrupt referees in the sport. The goal with these organizations like FIFA should be to try and contain these instances to the best of their ability. It has proven to be almost impossible to watch every single official, every single player, and so on, in the sport. So while FIFA does its best to watch everyone, they have strict penalties for being caught in the act. In this specific scenario, the official was banned for life. This could be a deterrent for other officials who may be considering doing the same thing, for fear that they become banned for life.
