The Hong Kong FA has signed a deal with Sportradar in an agreement that will provide intelligence about global betting on football in Hong Kong until July 2017.
HKFA CEO Mark Sutcliffe signed the deal yesterday, which will cover Hong Kong’s Premier League, League Cup, Community Shield, Senior Shield, FA Cup and playoffs each season.
Sutcliffe said: “It has really been impossible to ignore the credibility and reputation of Sportradar’s Security Services both in the region and internationally… to have the FDS monitoring all our professional-level football is reassuring and to have that in place for three seasons underlines our own commitment to keeping our competitions safe.”
Sportradar’s Fraud Detection System was discussed prior to the signing of the agreement and the system will work to deter match fixers and contribute to safeguarding the integrity of the game.
In a statement, Darren Small, director of integrity at Sportradar, said: “It is incredibly exciting for us to add [the] FA from Hong Kong to the list of associations who will not compromise on integrity.”
