Nearly one in every three soccer players in Greece has been asked to fix a match, a survey presented on Tuesday by the International Federation of Professional Football Players (FIFPro) has shown.
The survey, conducted across 12 countries in Eastern Europe with the anonymous participation of more than 3,200 players, found that in Greece, 30.3 percent had been approached to participate in match fixing, while 47.2 percent said they were aware of fixed matches in their division.
Worse still, more than a quarter of players (26.2 percent) in Greece said they had found themselves on the receiving end of blackmail, with 69.5 percent naming their club's administration as the culprit, while another 11 percent said it was their coach.
